Katerina Nash led a Clif Bar Pro Team one-two at the 2016 UCI Cyclocross World Cup stop in Namur. The 40-year-old Truckee, California-based Czech, a former Olympic Nordic skier, finished third yesterday in the sand of Scheldecross behind Sanne Cant and Sophie de Boer, but bested both racers today in the race around the Citadel of Namur.

The win is Nash’s second in three years at the event, after winning the 2014 edition.

De Boer finished third, while Cant was far back in 13th. Nash’s teammate Eva Lechner, who finished third in 2015, was second, 12 seconds in arrears.

Last year’s winner, Brit Nikki Brammeier, finished eighth, while countrywoman U23 World Champ Evie Richards continues her climb up in international cyclocross, with an 11th place finish.
