Two more American riders have given up their spots to compete at the upcoming UCI Cyclo-cross World Championships in Heusden-Zolder at the end of January. Cannondale-Cyclocrossworld riders Ryan Trebon and Emma White were automatically selected to compete for the US national team in the elite men’s and under-23 women’s events, respectively, but they have declined.
Jonathan Page (Page-Fuji) and Jamey Driscoll (Raleigh Clement) were also automatic selection who opted not to go last week.
Trebon just returned to cyclo-cross racing after recovering from a back injury. He placed seventh at the Nationals. Page cited recent health problems as his reason for declining his spot, while Driscoll said he opted not to go because of a ‘disappointing’ national championships in Asheville on January 10, where he placed sixth.
