Former Canadian champion Sidney McGill continued her excellent start to the 2026/27 cyclo-cross season by winning the Boulder Cup on Saturday, while Eric Brunner was completely dominant in the men’s race.
Riding for the Materiaal-Lastig team, McGill bounced back from her third place at the Pan-American Championships last week, winning a two-up sprint to take the sixth win of her season. Kaya Musgrave (Competitive Edge Racing) was edged into second place, while Lauren Zoerner (Corner Racing p/b Beyond Horizon Media) finished alone in third place, some 30 seconds back.
Brunner (Competitive Edge Racing) has had a dream start to the year, winning all five races he’s started, including a fifth Pan-Am title last week, and continued his stranglehold on the North American Elite scene by winning alone, with the biggest winning margin of his year to date.
Garrett Beshore (Colorado Mesa UNiversity)led the chasers home, finishing second, some 1:08 behind, while his teammate Ivan Sippy was third, a further 53 seconds down.
Both races are run at UCI C1 level and are equivalent to the Superprestige and X2O Trofee series in Europe.
