"With the red-line success we had with Yountville in 2002, we decided to once again offer the audio from our main PA system to listeners from coast to coast and worldwide, FREE." said Glenn Stilwell, media production manager. "A full audio stream will bring you to the heart of the action throughout the elite men's race and will continue afterward to bring fans post-race coverage from the podium."
Fans, friends and even far-flung competitors should log onto the Cyclocrossnationals.com website on Saturday, Dec. 10 to track the action and see if Jonathan Page will prove that he's still the best or could it be Tim Johnson, whose skill at racing in the snow (4-7 inches by Friday night) will put him atop "the box?" If you can't be there in person, find out online who will represent the U.S. at the UCI World Championships in Zeddam, Netherlands in January.
