Ben Berden's USA CX Season

A great move up in world rankings

Ben Berden fulfilled a career-long dream to come to the USA to live and race for a season. Long a fan of Americana, the El Camino driving Belgian not only came to the states, but conquered a fair bit as well. At the beginning of the season Ben's world UCI ranking was 139 and after a few months traveling and racing all over the country, he returned to Belgium for the start of their Cross season ranked 39. 

Among his recent palmares are wins in 5 UCI races including the Boulder Cup (C1), NC Grand Prix #1 and #2(C2), and LA Cyclocross (C2). 

We look forward to 2012 and his committed return to once again show his SL-K carbon components off to the peloton. 

Thank you Ben and good luck in Belgium!
