Mountain bike season is here and cyclocross racers did well in the women’s opener of the 2015 US Cup. photo: 2011 Nationals

The first stop of the mountain bike US Cup at Bonelli Park in San Dimas, California was held this past weekend, and it enjoyed mild weather and huge fields. It also was the first report card on how some top cyclocrossers kept their form over the very brief offseason.

In the pro women’s mountain bike XC race, cyclocross racers fared really well. Former Canadian Cyclocross National Champion winner Emily Batty took the win, ahead of current Canadian Cyclocross National Champion Catherine Pendrel. Pendrel’s Luna teammates Georgia Gould and Katerina Nash managed third and sixth, while NoTubes cyclocross racer Chloe Woodruff (third at the US Open of Cyclocross in Boulder) finished just ahead of Nash in fifth. Part-time cyclocross racer Lea Davison (eleventh) also had a strong showing behind Batty, with many other cyclocrossers representing.

In the men’s race, it was a distinctly international affair, with foreign mountain bike racers taking the top 11 spots, led home by Canadian 2013/2014 cyclocross standout Raphael Gagne. Former Canadian Cyclocross National Champion Geoff Kabush finished in eighth, Former USA Cyclocross National Champion American Todd Wells finished in 12th, while New Raleigh Clement signee and former Collegiate Cyclocross National Champion Kerry Werner was the second American in 15th.
