Molly Cameron » Who's #1? Cyclocross Rankings 11/23/11

Where's Christopher Case from Colorado!? He's been dominating in CO!

was a dotw/ jotw battle on saturday...damn flat tire or would have had the first jotw/ dotw sprint!

Wow, don't think anybody saw Jamey Driscoll winning Jingle Cross!

This is the weekend! Winless Timmy no more!! Johnson VS Wells at Jingle Cross!

Remember that Hamblen is a stay-at-home dad with 2 kids, and does ALL his riding indoors, on the trainer. His ONLY outdoor rides are when he's racing. The fact that he's leading the NCCX is amazing, and to ride from the back of the UCI field into the top 10 both days on fast, drafting-oriented courses was huge. The only other UCI event he'll probably be able to make at this point of the season is Kingsport, TN. If he lived in NE, you'd see him in the front group there, and with a bucket of UCI points by now.

More Amy!

@Ned,

I'm sold. Jonathan Hamblen now on the list. #44. But I agree that if he doesn't do any more racing outside of NC he's dropped. It's the same reason we don't have Alex Grant and Jason Sager on here who kill it every weekend in Utah. They race a full season but only in Utah and never against any national level riders and don't travel themselves. Too hard to compare but in this case Hamblen deserves props! Wish he'd come back to New England a bit more..

Amy is a German Shorthair Pointer. Tons of pictures on his Facebook.

Jon Hamblen never races outside of North Carolina now. He could definitely be top 60 but after this week, how do you compare him to all the others when he never races against any other ranked riders? Same is true only more complicated for Thomas Turner. Guy could have probably been top 5 both days in NC but he sat up and finished 11th to avoid UCI points so he could race Masters Worlds. If he doesn't want to be "Elite" then he shouldn't be on the "elite" rankings.

Molly didn't really move up.. i bunch of dudes just fell off or dropped below her this week. But Neiters... that was horrible!

Solid ratings. Very funny about Ryan's cane. He is now hoping that Rebound Physical Therapy in Bend will get him healed. No doubt this is a major setback. Speaking of Bend, I am curious to see if the USGP there can match the intensity and crowds of Portland. We'll see.

Dylan McNicholas rides up to the level of his competition. If someone sponsors him to come to Bend.....I personally guarantee he pulls off a top ten on at least one of the days. He is not some tactical baby who sits on wheels....he is a "throw down" racer that will go off the front regardless of the competition.
Did you really name your dog after Amy Dombroski?
Drop Jon Page from the list because he has been successful enough to get a contract that allows him to compete year after year in the biggest races in the world? That is just about as insane as dropping Amy from the list for doing the same thing this year. We should be proud of them both.
Nine times out of ten I give the edge to Andrea Smith over Crystal Anthony. Both are solid....Andrea is just meaner on the bike.
How many national titles does Chloe Woodruff hold? You would be surprised at what this young woman has already quietly accomplished.
I would like to know if Chris Jones and Julie Krysniak hung around to get their tattoos. I heard a rumor that they bolted out of town before getting inked?

The "Ryan Trebon Easy Walker" needs to be a real thing. Would bring masters cross to a whole new level!

What ?!!!!!!! tim did not beat Berden in USGP . Berden pull out Sat , and got fourth Sun. Tim got 6th . Berden won Boulder cup and NCCX . And beat him at Cinci. Don't get me wrong I like Tim , but Berden has won races .

Stop yelling at your dog you big jerk!

"winless Tim" did beat Berden in Louisville last weekend. Close, but I agree Tim has had a beter year so far, was better 2 weeks ago, and will probably be better this weekend.
