OHIO: Cincinnatti - Cincy 3 Cyclocross Festival Day Kaitlin Antonneau rode her own pace and grabbed the last podium spot on Friday's UCI opener in Cincinnatti. Cycling Dirt: "Between Compton’s pace and the grinding hills, the race split into pairs with Compton and Miller on the front, Gould and Antonneau chasing and Mani and Butler struggling to maintain contact. 

On lap 4, Compton finally shook Miller to take the win solo by :38.  Antonneau pegged it on the climb from the Bandshell dropping a struggling Gould to secure the 3^rd spot on the podium.  Mani stayed determined, keeping the pedal to the floor and eventually passed both Gould and Butler for 4^th.  Georgia continued to fade from her fast start to finish 6^th." 

 

Podium Insight: "“I felt that I wasn’t going that fast because the course is so hard and there’s a lot of uphill but I just rode within myself and just kept picking people off. It was good, I’m happy with how it went.” Antonneau said about her ride.""During her surge up, Antonneau caught riders including Georgia Gould (Luna), she explained, “I just went in front and just rode within myself on the climb, saw that I was by myself. It was a good race but I wanted to make sure I had some in the tank for Sunday too.”"

Chicago's Devon Gorry (Rambuski Law) placed 7th, Coryn Rivera (from CA but riding for Indiana's Marian Univ) was 9th, Minnesota's Linda Sone (Cycle-Smar/Flanders) - 12th, Wisconsin Junior phenom Corrie Osborne (IS-Corp) - 13th, and Ashley James (Kenda) from Dousman, WI and freshly back from US Collegiate MTB nationals - DNF.
