American Bicycle Racing Cross Championship

The final race of the Fresno Cyclocross Series also served as the A.B.R. Cross Championship for 2007. Scott/Ritchey/Sram Team rider Keith DeFiebre wrapped up the overall for the Fresno Series of races for the 3rd straight season. DeFiebre also found himself fighting for the race win handle bar to handle bar, literally, with current UCI World 4X Champion and UCI World Cup 4X Champion Brian Lopes.

With only three turns to go in the race DeFiebre maneuvered his Scott Team Edition Cyclocross bike into the lead, only to catch a pedal on the exit of the turn and slide out. Lopes took full advantage of this slip up, and seized the lead as the two racers sprinted for the line thru the last two turns. In the end it was Brain Lopes who took the win, but it made for some exciting racing and good action for all.

Jesse Mayberry- Scott/Ritchey/Sram Team MVP

Jesse Mayberry has been awarded MVP for the Scott/Ritchey/Sram Cyclocross Team for the 2007-08 season by his peers. Mayberry earned this honor for his stellar riding in the extremely competitive Elite division throughout the Cross season. However, to win the MVP award it takes more then just excellent results and outstanding riding. Mayberry was the driving force behind the scenes that developed the Scott/Ritchey/Sram Cross Team from it's infancy to being one the most respected group of Cross racers in Nor-Cal. Mayberry's unique ability to combine his insight, vision, and forward thinking, created a environment for the racers of cohesion and effectiveness. Each rider selected by Mayberry to represent Scott, Ritchey, and Sram, fed off his positive approach and their results reflected this. Mayberry then found himself personally at the front of the Elite division at Northern California's most prestigious Cross series, the Bay Area Super Prestige Series. Race after race Mayberry delivered strong finishes which motivated the rest of the team, and gave team riders fuel for their own personal fire to attain equally strong results. This outstanding success in the Super Prestige Series was one of the biggest highlights for the Scott/Ritchey/Sram Team for 2007-08. Excellent results combined with large amounts of team organization, development, and sponsor related work, made the choice unanimous and earned Jesse Mayberry MVP honors for the 2007-08 Cross season.
