North Carolina Grand Prix: Curtis White holds off Kerry Werner for pair of wins
Tough start for White on second day of racing in dual C2 weekend but blitzes through field to take lead with 3 laps to go

Curtis White (Steve Tilford Foundation Racing) scored back-to-back victories at the North Carolina Grand Prix over the weekend of UCI C2 races for elite men, the penultimate events of USA Cycling’s Pro CX calendar.
Kerry Werner finished second both days as well, on Sunday rolling across the finish at Jackson Park 22 seconds back. Canadian Tyler Clark (Hockley Valley Resort Armada) was third on Sunday.
White had a bad start to the second day of racing in Hendersonville, North Carolina, working his way from 28th position. He clawed back 14 spots after the second lap and then battled with Werner with three laps to go when the reigning US cyclocross champion created a gap to take the lead.
Werner was looking for a record 12th win in his career at the NCGP, but was denied both days by White on the fast, dry course.
