BEAST!

Kaitlin Antonneau SECOND PLACE in today's USGP Derby Cup!

Velonews: With two laps to go Compton led by 15 seconds as Nash, Duke and Miller linked up and formed a three-woman chase. Antonneau fought her way up to them on the backside of the course and it was four against one.
It wasn’t a fair fight — they needed a few more women to make it happen. Though Compton struggled a bit on the rideable run, she had extended her advantage to 26 seconds by the time she shot into the bell lap.
The race was for second place. Nash had the savvy, but Miller had the sprint. Then Antonneau came to the front and punched it, first shedding her teammate Duke, then Miller. Only Nash remained.
Compton finally had to dismount for the killer hill, but it wasn’t a game-changer. Once again she hit the pavement all alone, saluted the crowd and took the win. Behind, Antonneau and Nash sprinted for second — and the young Cannondale rider bested the Luna veteran to stand one step higher on the podium.
