The CRAFT Sportswear Gran Prix of Gloucester presented by Ipswich Ale Brewing continued Sunday with Category 2 races at historic Fort Stage Park on Gloucester Harbor. It was the opening weekend of competition for the Vittoria Northeast Cyclocross Series presented by Clif Bar and Cycle-Smart. Tobin Ortenblad (Santa Cruz/Donkey Label Racing) would outsmart his competitors down the final turns to win his fifth race of USA Cycling's Professional Cyclocross Calendar (ProCX). Ellen Noble (Aspire Racing) would solo her way to victory, her second of the year, in a confident and aggressive race on the women's side.

Women
Noble controlled the race from the start. She established an early lead with Emma White (Cannondale/Cyclocrossworld.com), and would then ride away from White with four laps remaining. White would suffer a mechanical, but hung on for second place. The third step of the podium would go to Beverly, Mass.-rider Crystal Anthony (Maxxis Shimano Pro Cyclocross), after surpassing yesterday's third place-finisher Christel Ferrier Bruneau (SAS-Macogep).

Noble will take over the Vittoria Series leaders jersey, while White will still remain in a Verge leaders jersey as the top U23 woman. Together with Anthony, the three riders are currently ranked in the Top Five of the ProCX women's standings.

"I felt like yesterday I kind of a raced a little complacently," said Noble. "I didn't plan on riding on the front the whole day, but I felt really, really strong technically today, much more focused than yesterday. So I just led through the technical sections, and I noticed that I was getting small gaps. So I just wanted to keep those gaps going, and eventually I was able to get one that stuck."

Men
For the Elite Men, it would be Jeremy Powers (Aspire Racing), like his teammate Noble, who seemed motivated to lead the charge early on and control the pace. Powers and Day 1 winner Ortenblad would go head to head for nearly the entire race, separating from the bunch on the second lap.

Ortenblad got the jump on Powers taking the inside line on the final turn onto the pavement. He would use a tailwind on the finishing sprint to win by 12 seconds over Powers. Curtis White (Cannondale/Cyclocrossworld.com) would fight for third, escaping teammate Cooper Willsey and riding away to the final podium spot. Ortenblad now leads the Vittoria Series for the Elite Men, with Cooper Willsey leading the U23 men's competition.

"Jeremy was definitely riding super aggressive today, you could tell he didn't want it to be a group again," said Ortenblad, who currently leads the ProCX standings for men. "He split it up pretty early. He and I just kind of went back and forth for the most part. Last lap, I kinda wanted to lead through the beginning and Jeremy also wanted to, so he came around me on the technical stuff. We both rode the stairs and this run-up thing really well, and I was able to kinda hang on his wheel again. Coming into the sprint, he definitely tried to slow down and make me come through and I did, but I was able to just hold it from there."
