Great interview! Kerry is right, cross isn’t dead, it is just gravel’s time in the fickle world of American bike racing right now. That too will pass, like all the other favorites of the day. Cross though, will still be there. Maybe not on a pro level, but as a cycling race it appeals to more amateurs than any of the other disciplines, and so the riders will be there if there is a race. I believe that the most potential for cross lies in a resurgence of urban cross, in City parks. Charm City leads by example on this, and it would be awesome to see others follow suit. Thanks for the reporting Zach and CXHairs Bulletin crew, I really enjoy and appreciate it.
I am definitely a KW fan and will be rooting for him at Nat's though should he win this year it would be a bummer for him to not be able to do a full CX season in 2023 and show the jersey.
