Once again sunny skies and unseasonably warm temperatures greeted riders again for day two of the Trek US Grand Prix of Cyclocross presented by Greenware® and WD-40 Bike. All eyes were on Louisville, Kentucky as Eva Bandman Park played host to the third stop on the USGP circuit, offering a preview of the exciting course that awaits the worlds best as the Cyclocross World Championships roll into Louisville in February.
In the women's race, it was once again the Katie Compton (Trek Cyclocross Collective) clinic, as found herself isolated with Katerina Nash (Luna) after just two laps, eventually pulling away from Nash just one lap later. Nash would ride alone in second, and a battle unfolded behind her for third. British champion Helen Wyman (Kona) would move out of the shrinking chase group to try to ride solo for third, but a surge by Luna's Georgia Gould would eventually catch Wyman, leaving her to settle solo for fourth.
