USA Cycling Pro CX Rankings – Week #5: Compton Takes the Lead, Hyde Outdistancing the Competition

Week five’s 2016/2017 Pro CX rankings is out, with a new leader on the women’s side, and Hyde pulling away from the field on the men’ side.

With her series of wins, Katie Compton moves to the top of the rankings with Caroline Mani very close behind.  Dropping back to third is last week’s leader Ellen Noble. A double victory at the Charm City Cross means that Compton is on a huge roll and looks tough to beat in all conditions.

Stephen Hyde continues to pull out a huge lead over his rivals with the double wins at Charm City Cross. Jamey Driscoll and Kerry Werner maintain their second and third place standing, respectively. Jeremy Powers jumps three spots to hold down fifth overall with an excellent showing of his own at Charm City Day 2.

No races for the Junior Men means no change to their overall standings.

See the full Week #5 rankings below.

Next up on the ProCX calendar are the US Open of Cyclocross in Boulder, CO and the CRAFT Sportswear Gran Prix of Gloucester in Gloucester, MA.

This year’s USA Cycling Pro CX calendar features 44 scoring cyclocross races, with UCI C1 and C2 points going 20 deep, and non-UCI events going 10 deep. UCI C1 events naturally score the most points. A non-UCI win is less valuable than seventh in a UCI C1, while a UCI C2 win is less valuable than ninth in a UCI C1, but the number of scoring events are capped per rider.
