While the top US racers came back for a wild weekend of racing on the East Coast at Cycle-Smart International and the Cincy3 Festival this weekend, racers in Europe had a full schedule as well, with Pauwels taking the win at the GvA Trofee race and the Women, U23s and Juniors lining up at the European Cyclocross Championships in Lucca, Italy.

For Elite Women, Elite Juniors and Elite U23 racers, Sunday was their turn to shine one a day where attention was placed directly on them, as opposed to the Elite Men’s field that typically receives the lion’s share of the attention. The Netherlands was well-represented in the races, taking the wins in all categories.

In the women’s race, Daphny van den Brand took the win about Lucie Chainel and Pauline Ferrand Prevost. Van den Brand has been having a great season, taking the win at the 2011 Nacht Van Woerden cyclocross race.

In the U23 race, Lars van der Haar took the win, surprising few. He’s had a stellar season so far, starting with a win at the 2011 CrossVegas, the unofficial season opener for 2011.
