While the 2016 Pan American Cyclocross Championships are currently underway, over in Europe, the event is a two-day affair and the U23 Men’s and Women’s titles were crowned today.
Quinten Hermans (Telenet Fidea Lions) continued his strong season that started off here in the States, taking the U23 men’s title in a very tight race and final sprint. Amazingly, the top five riders were all credited with the same time.
Italy’s Chiara Teocchi (Bianchi Countervail) took the women’s U23 title, holding off France’s Hélène Clauzel for the win.
2016 World Champion U23 Women’s Champion Evie Richards was not on the British team sent to Pontchâteau, France.
