It’s an incredibly tight standings in the Elite Men’s and Women’s division of the MAC Cyclocross series after seven rounds completed.  Following Saturday’s Fair Hill Maryland race, Valentin Scherz (Pro Cycles-Scott-Newwork) has a lead of only 12 points on second-place Adam Myerson (Cycle-Smart) and only 25 points on Wes Schempt.

Following Saturday’s Fair Hill Maryland race, Valentin Scherz (Pro Cycles-Scott-Newwork) and Bruno-Roy lead the incredibly tight standings in the Elite Men’s and Women’s division of the MAC Cyclocross series. Scherz also leads the U23 Men’s division.

In the Elite Masters, Mike Yozell has what appears to be a comfortable lead, but he is the only one of the division’s leading racers to have a full seven scores under MAC’s the best 7-of-10 scoring system, making it likely that the MAC Elite Masters will tighten up considerably following the two days of the Whitmore’s Landscaping Super Cross Cup on November 21 and 22.
