Nothing else is important. But we have some important matters to discuss relative and not relative to the significance [...]
Katie Compton (Rabobank-Giant) won day two of the New Belgium Cup on Sunday in Fort Collins over Katerina Nash (Luna) and Meredith Miller (Cal Giant-Specialized). In contrast to yesterday’s slippy slide, today’s race was marked by beautiful sunny weather and a course made blistering fast by the races that happened earlier in the day.
