Matter and Woodruff win Grand Junction crit
Racing gets under way in Colorado
The pro women took to the pavement with the men following shortly thereafter. The pros were primed and the competition was stiff in both categories. In the end, Chloe Woodruff (Backcountry.com) prevailed in the women’s category with Alexis Skarda (The Shade Tree) and Lesley Paterson (Scott Bikes) close behind.
In the men's race, Brian Matter (Team Wisconsin) battled it out for first with Fernando Riveros Paez (Scott) and Barry Wicks (Kona Bikes) closing in on second and third.
