Nicole Duke (Cannondale p/b CyclocrossWorld) put her downhill racing skills to good use, flying off the line to take a commanding holeshot. But it wasn’t long until Katerina Nash (Luna) showed that she really means business this cyclocross season, assuming the lead and not looking back (see Katerina Nash’s winning Orbea Terra TDR cyclocross bike profile). Her Sun Prairie win has her record at four-for-four in UCI races in a ten day stretch. She escaped early and kept her gap, while teammate Georgia Gould kept Meridith Miller (Cal Giant) in arrears to make it a Luna one-two. Luna teammate Georgia Gould explained her second place finish over Miller, saying, “with two to go I just found a spot I was a little faster and took off.”
Miller added, “I’m not nearly as fast as these two in the corners. I just try to catch back on the straights.”
Post-race, Nash said she felt, “Pretty good last two weeks of racing,” and, “I just like to win whether it’s beating my husband in a bike ride or here.”

The US riders had a rough race: Jeremy Powers finished third after crashing attempting to bunny hop te stairs on the hillside strangler hill, and National champion Todd wells ripped off his rear derailleur on the first lap but fought back to finish 16th.
After the race, Trebon said, “we are all pretty evenly matched. I pushed the pace in the woods and once I saw I had 10 feet I punched it. Jeremy and I stepped up game and it’s encouraging to see us improve. (The Europeans) like to race and that makes us better when we go to Europe.”
Wellens, who finished in second, agreed, saying, “l already knew Americans go fast. Today I felt it again. The level is almost higher than in Europe. I have respect for the US guys for sure.”
