Belgian newspaper Het Laatste Nieuws reported today that the United States could host the UCI Cyclocross World Championships in 2013.

UCI officials confirmed the U.S. bid was from from Louisville, Kentucky, according to a report on cyclingnews.com, which also reported that the southern state was leading the competition to host the 2013 worlds. The decision to choose the venue will likely be made on Thursday of next week.

Louisville is a natural selection; it hosts a weekend of the U.S. Grand Prix of Cyclocross, which culminates in Portland, and is home of USGP organizers Joan Hanscom and Bruce Fina.
