COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Oct. 26, 2001) - After an eight-month season of more than 45 events, the National Racing Calendar wrapped up with the Miami Cycling Classic Sunday, Oct. 21 in Miami. The final standings have been calculated, crowning Trent Klasna (Pine Valley, Calif.), Lyne Bessette (Canada) and the Saturn men and women's teams as the 2001 NRC champions.

Klasna started the series off on the right foot, taking victories at the Redlands Bicycle Classic and Sea Otter Classic. The California resident continued to roll over his competition, picking up a win at the Housatonic Valley Classic and a national title in the individual time trial at the USCF Elite Road Cycling Nationals. Klasna racked up 1,388 points, almost doubling the total of second place Scott Moninger (Boulder, Colo.).

Kimberly Bruckner (Boulder, Colo.) took the top American spot in the women's standings at fifth. The former duathlete only started cycling three years ago, but stormed onto the scene in 2001, scoring first at the Housatonic Valley Classic and a sweep at the USCF Elite Road Cycling Nationals by taking the national titles in the individual time trial and road race. Bruckner wrapped up the calendar with 792 points. Saturn teammate Lyne Bessette was the overall winner with 1,056 points.

The men and women of Saturn cleaned house in the team standings, winning both categories by more than 2,500 points. The men's squad finished with 3,305 points, followed by Mercury with 2,580 and Prime Alliance with 1,828. The women ended up with 4,116 points, while Autotrader.com scored 2,384 points for second place. The Intersports team finished in third with 1,435.

The 2002 NRC is slated to be released in late November.
