Louisville, Kentucky -- Felt cyclocross rider Ryan Trebon made the best of a tough situation at the November 12-13 Derby City Cup event, which made up rounds 5 and 6 of the USGP series. Trebon came into the two-race weekend leading the series—but an untimely crash during his warm-up on Sunday put his standing in jeopardy. The crash left Trebon with a badly bruised knee, and he wasn't sure if he would be able to race at all. He took the start, however, and gutted it out to finish 10th on his Felt F1X, which put him second overall, within 6 points of the series lead.
