The removal of the U.S. round of the Cyclocross World Cup was a big blow to the sport in the States but despite this the scene is still in good health, and this weekend the national titles across the junior, under-23 and elite categories will all be decided.

The full day of racing at Joe Creason Park in Louisville, Kentucky kicks off early with the junior men starting at 8:40 a.m. ET followed by the junior women at 9:40 a.m., the U23 women at 12:00 p.m. and the U23 men at 1:00 p.m. The elite women will start at 2.45 p.m., and then to finish the elite men at 4:00 p.m.

The big favourite in the elite men's race is two time former winner Eric Brunner (CompEdge Racing) from Boulder, Colorado. So far this season he has won six of the ten UCI races he has started and is building a large tally of points which will help him secure good grid position when he leaves to race in Europe over the festive period.

In the women's race, the favourite looks like it will be Katie Clouse who finished fourth in the National Series behind three overseas riders. However, she will have tough competition in the shape of Lauren Zoerner, Raylyn Nuss and Mia Aseltine.
