Liberty Cup Elite Race, 72 partants, 22.4Km
Voici ce qu'on a pu lire sur Cyclingnews le 11 décembre :

The Liberty Cup is an interesting format race organizers put together to showcase cyclocross. In the race is every male national champion from the weekend and a field of about 150 invited riders; every major name in U.S. 'cross.

The racer getting most attention from the rowdy crowd down at the beer garden is Canadian National Champion and the only woman in the race Lyne Bessette. She's in the race at the promoter's invitation and riding smoothly somewhere deep in the field.

A true champion, Lyne Bessette smiles as she wipes out during the Liberty Cup race.
