Yana Belomoyna (Infotre-Bi & Esse - LeeCougan) took her second consecutive win in the under 23 women's cross country World Cup in Val di Sole, Italy, at the World Cup final. Canadian national champion Mikaela Kofman (Team Canada) was the top North American in ninth.
Belomoyna has missed most of the World Cup series, but last week in Nove Mesto, Czech Republic, and now this week, she has shown that she will be a medal favourite for the world championships in less than two weeks. The Ukrainian dropped World Cup leader Pauline Ferrand Prevot (Lapierre) early in the race to ride to a minute and a half victory over the Ferrand Prevot, with Paula Gorycka (CCC Polkowice) taking third.
Ferrand Prevot easily took the overall title, with 490 points to second place Barbara Benko (Focus MIG) with 395. Elisabeth Sveum (Merida Smart Safety) took third overall. Kofman was the top North American, in 13th place.
