Pete Webber Does it Again, Repeats as Masters 45-49 Champ – Updated: Photo Gallery, Full Results, Video

ASHEVILLE, North Carolina—In the biggest field of the day, and perhaps the week, some of the most well-known names in Men's Masters racing took to the start at a chance to be the 45-49 National Champion.

As the race started it was William Elliston (EC Devo) with the holeshot as the huge field rounded the first left hander.

Things shook out quickly with the anticipated players taking the lead. Former World Champion Mark Savery  (Trek Cyclocross Collective) led last year's National Championship winner Pete Webber (Boulder Cycle Sport/YogaGlo) and Roger Aspholm (Finkraft) through the first lap and much of the race's opening sequence and not far off was Savery's teammate Tim Faia.

Webber stayed glued to Savery for much of the race, biding his time as Savery seemed content to lead the way. As the pair pulled away from the others and opened the gap that would see them contest the win, Aspholm, James Cochran (Atlas/Other Films), and Webber's teammates Brandon Dwight, a former National Champion in his own right, and Matt Davies strung out the shattered field.

There was more mud on the bikes as racers charged past, as the course has softened up some in the afternoon sun. This also meant greater risks in some spots of the course, and at least Davies was looking down at his bike as mechanical issues came up for a number of riders.

For the leading pair, it was a slug fest from the three to go mark. Both Webber and Savery took turns feeling each other out with short attacks and lead changes. But it was at the two to go mark where Webber let Savery have it on Cemetery Hill.

Below you can watch both Webber and Savery talk about the race and how it unfolded and see full results from the race.
