The West Sacramento Cyclocross Grand Prix was held Saturday in River Walk Park. Boasting “the largest women’s prize in California,” and offering coveted (for Northern California racers caring about start positions at Nationals) USA Cycling points, the event attracted some top-level talent and over 400 participants.

Rachel Lloyd (Cal Giant), after finishing her season disappointed with her sixth place at Nationals in Boulder, has started off her season with a win over an impressive women’s field. Emily Kachorek (Squid Bikes) finished second, racing her first official cyclocross race for her new company, while Teal Stetson-Lee suffered a late race crash but salvaged third place. Australian National Champion Lisa Jacobs, fresh off her second place at the Qiansen Trophy Race in China, finished fourth.

Elle Anderson (KDL Cycling), racing domestically before heading to Belgium, lined up despite suffering from a head cold but finished a distant 12th, five minutes in arrears.

In the men’s race, Anthony Clark (JAM Fund/NCC) continued his winning ways after winning this summer’s Paris to Ancaster’s mixed terrain race. Clark’s endurance seems to have paid off, as the racer, on his new colorful Squid Bike, finished strong, putting over a minute on Cody Kaiser, who opened his season for LangeTwins winery. Walton Brush (MASH SF) was close behind in third. Tobin Ortenblad (Cal Giant) finished in fourth.
