USA National Champion Jeremy Powers took his first UCI win of the season Saturday at the Mid-Atlantic's Nittany Lion Cross. While most of the East Coast's top riders traveled North to Vermont for the VERGE Green Mountain Cross, Powers and his protege Jeremy Durrin made the strategic decision to chase some lower hanging fruit of eqaaul value at the UCI C2 events in Breiningsville, Pennsylvania. Ryan Knapp and Craig Richey rode well in the lead group for most of the race before being gapped by Powers and Durrin with a couple laps to go. Powers easily rode away for victory on the final lap.
