The much anticipated 2016 Masters Cyclocross World Championships has begun and we have results for Day 1 racing in Mol, Belgium. For the Women’s divisions, age groups above 64 were quite thin with only one racer in each class for Women 75+ and 65-69. There were no competitors in the 70-74 group and even the 60-64 age group only had three racers. At the other end of the spectrum, the 35-39 age group also had only 3 athletes and the “baby masters” class (30-34) had only one racer.

Despite having significantly less female racers, America was well represented with seven women overall (compared to six American men making the trip, but with way more participants overall). Of those seven, four US women finished in the top three. Graciela Val from Evanston took the Championship in the 75+ category. Maurine Sweeney (RacerX Cycling) took the win in the 65-69 class and Christina Perkins (Team ProPower) took the win in the 60-64 class. We took a close-up look at Sweeney’s Masters Pro bike when she was riding a Specialized Crux Pro Disc. Lisa Hudson, C0-Founder of Feedback Sports landed on the podium in third for the 40-44 class.
From the Feedback Sports Facebook page, company Founder Doug Hudson had this to say about the course conditions, “The temperatures were around 45 and damp. The course is really tough and the sand is epic. Lots of running compared to a race in Colorado.”
