Cyclocross Magazine came to Madison’s 2012 Cyclocross National Championships and worked hard to bring you coverage of every single race at the event, the only media company to accomplish such a feat. Most times we brought you some great photos and video interviews as well, but for a few races on the packed days, we still have a bunch of unpublished great photos of the racing action and some key moments. The Masters 40-44 race deserves more photo coverage, as it was not only a tactical battle at the front as Adam Myerson (Mock Orange Bikes / SmartStop p/b Ridley) battled Boulder Cycle Sport teammates Brandon Dwight and Pete Webber, but also a crash-fest with thick muddy and slippery ruts.
