Alright, we are going to do this once, and once only. Maghalie Rochette (CX Fever p/b Specialized) has a CX Fever and the only prescription is winning more bike races.
Ellen Noble (Trek Factory Racing) jumped right into cyclocross by taking the holeshot and daring the rest of the field to come with her early on. Rochette was the only rider to answer the call.
After trading leads for a few laps, Rochette attacked early in Lap 4 of 6 and then attacked again out of the woods to get a gap on Noble she would not relinquish. Rochette’s win marks the perfect way to kick off her new solo ’cross-focused program.
Noble took second in her first cyclocross race with Trek Factory Racing and her new Red Bull helmet.
Last Sunday’s GO Cross winner Crystal Anthony (Liv Cycling) outdueled last Saturday’s GO Cross winner Caroline Mani (Van Dessel Factory Racing) to take third.
Full results are below. Stay tuned for a race report.
