Field of Riches - cyclocross

Richfield Nature Park, Richfield, WI
Organized by Team Wisconsin teamwisconsincycling.com/

Dan Naef is on a tear! Two second place finishes in his last two races!
In the final lap, Dan was close behind the leading rider, timing his (hopefully) winning attack, when his opponent slid out in front of him, causing Dan to hit the floor. The resulting gap was too much to overcome. 
Dan will take this confidence into the rest of the season.

Jeff Abitz is showing up and racing, not winning but racing...and having a great experience each weekend.
Is he past his cyclocross prime? Is the competition just better? Does he party too hard?
Maybe compared to other seasons but bike racing has ebbs and flows. 

Brian Hansen, now fully healthy, is back and ripping again! His hard charging, from the back row start, moved him deep into the field. He is definitely on the way up.

John Lichtenberg just missed the 60+ podium with 4th. So close!
