January 16, 2012 (Louisville, KY) – Racing concluded on Sunday at the 2012 UCI Masters World Championships today with six more Americans claiming the top step of the podium with Great Britain claiming two gold medals out of eight.
With conditions changing throughout the day, the Women 50-54 took to the course while it was still covered in a coating of snow and frozen ruts. Karen Brems (Team Rambuski Law – USA) claimed victory, followed by Kris Walker (Contender Bicycles – USA) and Ruth Sherman (Corning/ No-Tubes – USA) rounded out the podium.
As the temperatures rose, Women 55-59 took to the course in a hard fought race that ultimately saw Kathy Sarvary (Blue Steel Cyclery – USA) claim the Rainbow Jersey ahead of Elizabeth Heller (Dressell’s Pub – USA) and Diane Ostenso (Planet Bike – USA)
Karen Wells-Hamilton (BioWheels/ Reece Campbell Racing – USA) won Gold in the Women’s 60-64 division while multi-time National Champion Julie Lockhart claimed her Rainbow Jersey in the Women’s 65+ race.
As the day progressed the frozen ruts gave way to perfect muddy conditions under sunny skies. Glen Norton (Team Redline -USA) claimed the first Gold for the men today in the 60-64 division ahead of Fred Wittwer (Alan North America Cycling Team – USA) and Greg Pautsch (Planet Bike – USA) .

是什么级别比赛的世界冠军，能介绍的详细一些吗？科普一下

从他的彩虹衫可以看出，应该是cyclo-cross的世界冠军
cyclo-cross就是越野公路车，用公路车的车架加上越野的轮胎，骑车过这种地形和障碍
看年龄，有60多了。老当益壮。
楼主跟蛋白有什么关系？

哈哈，还有我
肯塔基州路易斯维利市，世界公路越野大师冠军赛上，Ned Overend延续辉煌！
“昨天我赢得了世界公路越野大师赛。那是美国举办的第一届大师赛。” 路易斯维利市的天气非常适合公路越野，早些时候下了一场雨，接着周末便气温骤降，伴随着雨雪。周五当路面上出现些许冰冻的时候，便有了这场惊心动魄的比赛。这次比赛是少数几场可以使出全力，而不用为了过弯而小心翼翼的比赛，由于拐角处大量出现冰辙子，车手根本不需要降慢速度，只要控制好前轮让它顺着这些辙子就可以过弯。不用说，这就是一场激烈的厮杀。而周日的决赛上，气温少许回升，于是就出现了一些泥泞的路段。而对于Ned Overend而言，这场比赛健身的意义远远大于竞争。
“我一开始跑得太快，到了第一圈中间段的时候就有些喘，那个让我掉到了第五，但是每个人都在对付泥泞的路面和碎冰，所以没有人可以跑得很快，第一名也不过如此。我最大的竞争来自与Cal Giant Strawberries车队的Norm Kreiss和Henry Kramer两个人。我们三个人好好斗了几圈，直到我决定甩开他们。我这样做了，并保持到了最后。Crux让我登上了领奖台！”
“赢得这种比赛的一个关键就是机械后勤支持。Joe和Corey两个人整个礼拜都在帮忙帮我的赛车调整到最佳状态，谢谢伙计们！”
“值得一提的是，2013年世界精英冠军杯赛就讲在这场赛道上进行，主办方显示了他们良好的比赛运营能力和协调能力，届时的比赛我们将拭目以待。”
不是很明白为何越野还要用公路车？UCI使用此类比赛为的是考察选手哪个方面强？
就是UCI下面的一个特殊的自行车比赛了，在公路大组、公路计时、场地赛、山地MTB XC、DH、BMX等之外，比如这个星期的cyclo-cross的世锦赛就刚刚结束，比利时的Albert 和荷兰的Vos分获世锦赛冠军。
cyclo cross原来是一些人骑车穿越农场而发明出来的，所以有不少障碍，可以用兔子跳跳过，但是随着比赛进行，体能下降，就要推车过去了。这比赛个人感觉对技术要求挺高，体能其次。最流行的是在西欧，尤其是比利时、荷兰，这些比赛的艰苦、对意志的考验，非常符合比利时的国家性格
