Nolan Long delivered an impressive performance this past weekend at the Storm Eva Bandman cyclocross races in Louisville, finishing 4th and 11th in his respective races. Competing at the renowned Eva Bandman Park—a cyclocross haven that once hosted the 2013 UCI World Championships—Long faced a challenging course known for its intense, technical terrain and a history that attracts elite cyclists from around the region.
Eva Bandman Park offers a unique mix of grass, sand, and steep, muddy sections, testing cyclists’ endurance, skill, and adaptability. Long’s strong results at this venue reflect his dedication to mastering the sport’s demands and his readiness to compete at high levels within the cyclocross circuit.
With Eva Bandman behind him, Long now sets his sights on Treason Cross in Seymour, Indiana. This race is part of the Ohio Valley Cyclocross (OVCX) series, a competitive league where Long currently holds a strong 4th place in the rankings. Treason Cross is a pivotal event for Long—not only because it offers valuable series points, but also due to his memorable performance there last year, where he claimed the title. The course, known for its tight turns, off-camber sections, and challenging terrain, suits Long’s strengths and aggressive riding style.
As Long prepares to defend his Treason Cross title, his current momentum and confidence are high. His consistent top finishes this season have solidified him as a top contender in the OVCX series, where he faces some of the best riders in the region. With another strong showing, he could further climb the rankings and set the stage for a thrilling close to the cyclocross season.
All eyes are on Nolan Long as he heads into Treason Cross, ready to defend his title and showcase his growth and determination in a sport that demands both mental and physical grit. Fans and fellow racers alike will be watching to see if Long can once again conquer the Seymour course and continue his ascent in the OVCX rankings.
