Jeremy Powers (Cyclocrossworld.com-Cannondale) and Brian Matter (Gear Grinder) have joined Ryan Trebon (Kona) and Matt Shriver (Jittery Joe’s) on the U.S. men’s team that will contest the 2009 UCI Cyclocross World Championships on February 1 in Hoogerheide, Netherlands.

Trebon, Powers and Tim Johnson (Cyclocrossworld.com-Cannondale) all earned automatic nominations to the team as the top three Americans in the UCI rankings. Johnson has declined his nomination and will not compete.

Matter and Shriver were selected based on promising performances in international events this season.
