» This is too bad: The Sun-Times reports that the June 3 Evanston criterium is canceled. An Evanston race remains on the Superweek schedule, however. (Recall last summer’s legal dispute between local promoters and Superweek.)
» In better news for that weekend, registration is open for Friday’s Lake Bluff Criterium, which so far has “Cuban Missile” Ivan Dominguez (Franco Bicycles) lining up for the $10,000 P/1/2 purse.
» This is neat: The ICA began taking video interviews of the winners at Saturday’s Spring Super Crit. Full results are online.
» Registration is open for the Fox River Omnium, which will combine a flat crit in Elgin with the famous hill-climb crit of Fox River Grove. Be sure to check out the unique scoring scheme.
