Day 2 of the Major Taylor Cross Cup delivered plenty of mud.
Under similar conditions to Day 1, could Saturday’s winners repeat on Day 2?
Elite Women
In the women’s race, that certainly was the case although she had different podium mates.
The first-place winner was “run4funner” Sunny Gilbert. She also won Day 1’s race, using her footspeed to her advantage. Runner up was Anna Megale with Lizzy Gunsalus completing the podium.
