Ettinger & Nash Win Fontana Short Track
Stephen Ettinger (BMC) and Katerina Nash (Luna Pro Team) won the short track races held in Fontana, California, on Sunday afternoon at the third round of the Pro XCT series.
The Fontana short track happened one day after the Fontana round of the USA Cycling US Cup cross country series presented by Sho-Air Cycling Group. Most of the favorites from the previous day's race stuck around to also compete in the short track.
Elite Women
Katerina Nash powered to victory in the elite women's short track, one week after winning the short track at Bonelli Park.
Some of the world's top women lined up at the start for what would be approximately a 20-minute all-out race around a short course.
Nash finished three seconds ahead of Canada's Emily Batty (Trek Factory Racing) in second and four seconds ahead of another Luna rider, Georgia Gould. Australian national champion Rebecca Henderson gave Trek Factory Racing another podium spot by finishing fourth, while Saturday's US Cup cross-country winner Catharine Pendrel of Canada gave Luna the final place on the podium in fifth.
Elite Men
US cross country national champion Stephen Ettinger recovered from a disappointing Fontana cross country race the previous day to race to victory in the short track. Ettinger had to abandon the cross country race due to a mechanical while he was in the three-man group leading the race. The American beat Emil Lindgren (Giant Pro XC) of Sweden and fellow American Todd Wells (Specialized Racing).
Trek Factory Racing riders swept the final two spots with Dan McConnell in fourth and Sergio Mantecon Gutierrez in fifth. Both riders had played an aggressive role in the previous day's racing, with McConnell winning and Gutierrez launching several attacks on each lap's climb.
In the Category 1 men's race, Canadian Felix Burke won.
