Much has changed with Team UPlace-BMC for 2014 – a greater number of athletes, a more international feel, excellent winning potential and new team colors.

Here is another gallery from the 2014 USA Cycling National Cyclocross Championships in Boulder, Colorado where Jeremy Powers and Katie Compton ruled.

The UPlace-BMC tri team is currently in Lanzarote for a training camp before their official presentation in Brussels on January 20th and we took a closer look at this 10 athlete strong team.

Our editor-in-chief is currently in Lanzarote and he captured these images during his first 24 hours on this ideal triathlon training island of the Canary Isles.

Sven Nys started his 2014 cyclocross campaign with a win at the race that bears his name. The Belgian superstar took that victory on his new Trek Boone.

American Katie Compton won the 2014 Bpost Bank Troffee – GP Sven Nys after a hard battle with World Champion Marianne Vos and here is an image gallery from the race.

4 Zipp employees traveled to the A2 Wind Tunnel in Mooresville, NC just before the holidays to test a bunch of wheels and tires and we were allowed to stop by.

Assos _S7 T.Équipe bib shorts arrived at our editor-in-chief’s home office in a fancy launch box and we decided to peel back the layers of that box for our readers.

Another year is about to come to an end and our We Noticed tumblr site has been busy. Our editor-in-chief selected his favorite images submitted in 2013.

In this Weekend Box we cover beautiful images by Ali Engin, a Sprint Tri in New Zealand won by Cam Brown, and lavish media attention for Frederik Van Lierde in Belgium.

American Katie Compton prevented the comeback of Marianne Vos at the Namur Word Cup cyclocross event and here is a gallery by Tom Prenen.

Francis Mourey from France stormed to the win at the Namur World Cup and held off Belgians Klaas Vantornout, Niels Albert and Sven Nys on their soggy home turf.
