Women’s Pro Race
Gabby Durrin (Neon Velo) took the holeshot and led the first lap. She was joined in the front group by Meredith Miller (Noosa Professional Cyclocross), Caroline Mani (Raleigh-Clement), and Nicole Duke (Marin-Spy).

The second lap saw a reshuffling of the front group with Mani, Miller, and Georgia Gould (Luna Chix) all in attendance and Durrin driving the pace.

Katie Compton (Trek Factory Racing) worked her way through traffic, and attacked at the start of the third lap.

Compton’s attack forced Miller, Gould, Mani, and Durrin to dig hard. It was to no avail as Compton glided through the Trek Off-Camber section and extended her lead.

“I had a bit of a tricky start. I recovered from that and then I spent the first bit trying to get through traffic,” said Compton. “I attacked on the second lap and then got a gap and just tried to put pressure on the run-ups. It’s really fast, really windy, and it was getting hot out there on the last lap.”

With 2 laps to go Compton had the race well in hand, and the chase group was left to fight for the remaining podium spots. After a bobble by Miller, Gould opened a gap on the run-up that she would hold to the line.

The chase splintered even further on the bell lap. With Gould firmly in second, Mani rode alone in third, while Miller and Durrin chased. Miller opened a small gap going into the barriers and held it to the finish.

For Compton this was her 96th UCI race victory.
