James "Jamey" Driscoll (born November 11, 1986, in Jericho, Vermont) is professional American Cyclocross and road racing cyclist. Driscoll's career was thrust into prominence following an eye-opening performance at the 2008 US Cyclocross National Championships in Kansas City, Missouri, where Driscoll bested many of the pre-race favorites en route to a second-place finish – his first career Elite Cyclocross medal. Driscoll made a name for himself riding for the New England–based Fiordifruita team, before signing with the Cannondale/Cyclocrossworld.com professional cyclocross team before the 2008 season. On the road, Driscoll's exploits with Fiordifruita garnered him a spot on the controversial Rock Racing squad at the beginning of the 2009 season. After a tumultuous road season, Driscoll signed with the Jamis–Sutter Home squad for 2010.

Major Accomplishments

In his second full season with the Cannondale/Cyclocrossworld.com team, Driscoll won arguably the biggest race of his career, beating an all-star field at the 2009 edition of Cross Vegas, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Driscoll's only other win of the year came at the second day of the Cycle-Smart International in Northampton, Massachusetts. Despite only two victories on the season, Driscoll wore the leaders jersey for the U.S. Gran Prix of cyclocross following the series' fifth stop, the Mercer Cup, and finished up the series in third place overall. Driscoll consistently performed well in the North American Cyclocross Trophy as well, finishing up third overall in the series standings.

Driscoll's first year with Cannondale/Cyclocrossworld.com brought a wealth of good results, including the overall victory in the Verge New England Cyclocross Championship Series, winning seven of the series' nine races. On the road, Driscoll also won the third stage of the American Eagle Tour of Pennsylvania.^[1]

Championships

Driscoll won his first US Cyclocross National Championship as a junior in 2003, in Portland Oregon, one year after finishing in second place. In 2006, Driscoll grabbed his second national championships, this time in the Collegiate Men's category, while riding for the University of Vermont, a feat which he repeated in 2007. Also in 2007, Driscoll was narrowly bested by Bjørn Selander in a two-up sprint for the Espoirs title.
