press release:
Hagens Berman elite 'cross team for 2006/07
The Hagens Berman law firm announced it's commitment to the sport of cycling through the sponsorship of an elite cyclo-cross program. The team will contest the entire US Gran Prix of Cyclo-cross calendar along with select Northwest cyclo-cross events. Hagens Berman has been making inroads into cycling sponsorship with the co-title sponsorship of the elite road program Broadmark Capital/Hagens Berman this year. "We have had a tremendous amount of success and satisfaction with our sponsorship of the Broadmark road cycling program and wanted to take it to the next level and get involved in one of the most exciting types of bike racing there is," states Steve Berman.
The Hagens Berman Elite Cyclo-cross program will consist of Jonny Sundt, Morgan Schmitt, and Dan Neyens. Jonnny Sundt, 32, has been a fixture on the national and Northwest cyclo-cross scene for the past ten years taking key wins at several UCI level events and the 2002 Star Crossed Cyclo-cross race. Morgan Schmitt, 21, is the up-and-coming powerhouse on the team with a 4th place at the 2005 U23 Cyclo-cross Nationals. Morgan has also had a breakout year on the road with winning multiple Washington State Championships and the Best Young Rider Competition at The Tour De Nez. Dan Neyens is also another young rider to watch as he comes to the team as the youngest member. He brings several podium finishes across the nation and was a member of the US World Cyclo-cross Championship team this past year.
and in other news.....
Probably the all-time favorite title for a cyclocross series, 'The Thrilla in the Milla' is back for its 3rd run in as many years. Wednesday nights in the Old Mill will be the place to be in September for the lucky folks of Bend, Oregon. 4 nights of racing will be held on Sept 6th, 13th, 20th, and…. check that – skip the last Wednesday in September and show up the first Wednesday in October (the 4th) for the final race. Click here for all the juicy details.
more news you can use....
Not to be outdone by the boyz from Bend, the cross-mad guys in Eugene are promoting a cool early season series on September 12th and 19th (does 2 races a series make? Sure why not). the course they have planned sounds like a killer. Head to Eugene for your early dose of Tuesday after-work pain.
how 'bout another press release:

Why is this press release included in the 'news you can use' section? Well 2 reasons. 1) why is there only one person from the PNW on the roster? That’s shameful, there are plenty of top flite riders in the PacNW who would kill for a nice sponsorship deal. 2) the rider who is recently transplanted to the PacNW, Nick Weighall, is going to make huge waves in the local scene this season. So when you see his name at the top of the results and ask, ‘who is this kid?’, now you know.
Race schedules are being posted fast and furiously all over the great Pacific Northwest. We'll have all the details here shortly. Only 5 days until the first race of the season. Labor Day Cross in Seattle, check the Labor Day Cross flier for the 411.
