“I was feeling pretty confident,” 18-year-old Ellen Noble (Trek Cyclocross Collective) explained to Cyclocross Magazine post-race about her last lap battle with Ellen Sherrill (Rock Lobster / Bicycle Blue Book).
Ellen Noble leads Ellen Sherrill in the battle for second at the 2014 National Championship.
“It was a crapshoot the entire race, I was crashing everywhere. The last lap, I kind of put it together. I got a little bit, and I was getting a little more, a pretty good gap, but then my chain was off and she [Ellen Sherrill] blew by me like I was standing still.”
