The 2018 Major Taylor Cross Cup in Indianapolis takes place this weekend. The event is hosted by Marian University and takes place on the grounds of the Major Taylor Velodrome near the school’s campus.
Last year’s race was a muddy mess, with giant lakes forming on the course in spots. It remains to be seen what this year’s conditions will bring.
