Lechner pips Batty to win Bonelli Park XC
Nash rounds out close podium



























Eva Lechner (Luna Pro Team) won the opening round of the US Pro Cup, the hors categorie Bonelli Park XC that lived up to its ranking thanks to heavy rain that turned the course into a mud bog. Lechner out-sprinted Emily Batty (Trek Factory Racing) with Katerina Nash (Luna) rounding out the podium.
Lechner, the Italian champion, was an early aggressor but she could not shake six other women, including Batty, Nash, Georgia Gould (Luna), and Erin Huck (Scott 3 Rox). They all rolled through the start/finish together with one lap to go. In the end, Emily Batty (Trek Factory Racing) forced Lechner into a sprint finish but Lechner came out on top.
