Peter Sagan knew that the Amstel Gold Race course suited him, and knew that he couldn't waste his good form from the cobbled classics. Evidence of this was shown on the Cauberg, the last côte of the Amstel Gold Race: with one burst, Sagan was launched towards the finish but with just meters to the line, Gasparotto and Venendert came around him. Sagan crossed third and took his place on the podium.

After a successful start to the 2012 UCI MTB World Cup, Cannondale Factory Racing proved to be in good form in Houffalize, Belgium by winning the team ranking.

Today was a victorious day for Liquigas-Cannondale in Belgium.

This is the team’s fourteenth win of 2012.

Pietermaritzburg, South Africa was the host for the first round of the UCI Mountainbike World Cup. With 2012 being an Olympic season and Pietermaritzburg being the location for 2013 Mountainbike World championships, the pressure was on.

This past weekend the US Pro XCT visited Bonelli Park in southern California for a packed weekend of racing.  The close proximity to Los Angeles ensured a large turnout of racers and spectators and the weekend's action kicked off first thing on Saturday with twenty five racers lining up for the Junior Men's XC.  CFR's Keegan Swenson was the favorite going in to the race and he didn't disappoint, taking the hole shot and leading up the first climb.
