PREVIEW- National Cyclo-Cross Championships January 11-12

The women’s elite national cross champion will be crowned this weekend in Shrewsbury, and for the first time in 15 years, it won’t be Nikki Brammeier or Helen Wyman.

- 

Both Wyman and Brammeier announced their retirement in 2019 and have left the sport in a much better place for female racers than they found it. Thanks to their post-cycling projects, Helen100 and MudIIIta Coaching, that work continues.

The two cross stalwarts have dominated the women’s scene since 2005 and their absence means the elite women’s race is more hotly anticipated than ever.
