Guess who’s back on top? Maghalie Rochette returned to her winning ways at another USCX series stop at the Kings CX Day 1 in Cincinnati.
Canadian Rochette was dominant, taking the win over France’s Caroline Mani and another Canadian, Sidney McGill.
The two Canadians escaped early, and then Rochette dropped her compatriot for a solo ride to victory.
Mani rode with McGill, before dropping her with three laps to go to secure second place. Mani’s second place puts her in the lead of the USCX series.
National Champ Clara Honsinger did not attend the race.
