Race footage and highlights from the first day of the UCI Cycle-Smart International in Northampton, Massachusetts. The race served as a stop on the VERGE New England Championship series. Link to full results is to the left of this video. Link to day One Report is above that.

With a field over fifty strong, the Elite men was chaos at the start. A broken chain caused a massive pile-up only 100 meters from the start which took down several riders, leaving many riders to walk their bikes off the course, asses damage and prepare for Sunday. Ahead of the chaos though, were Jeremy Powers and Jamey Driscoll of the dominant Cannondale/cyclocrossworld.com team. With them were series leader Dan Timmerman (Richard Sachs/RGM/Radix) and Nicholas Weighall (California Giant Berry Farms/Specialized). Not far behind them were Jerome Townsend (bikereg.com/Joe’s Garage/IF) and Adam Craig (Giant MTB Team). Powers and Driscoll controlled the front of the race the same way they’ve been controlling races all season. Their pressure proved to be too much for Weighall as he fell off the hard pace, eventually holding on for fourth. Like Weighall, Timmerman was unable to match the pace, but rode valiantly to keep the leaders within a few seconds until the last two laps. Timmerman was able to hold on to third, thirty seconds back, and retain his series leader’s jersey. Adam Craig looked like he was going to be able to bring himself to the leaders but with two to go, he dropped his chain and lost several spots but fought back for 5th place in his return to racing in New England. The U-23 race came down to a two-up sprint between Jerome Townsend and series leader Luke Keough (Team Champion System) with Townsend taking victory.
