Raylyn Nuss (Steve Tilford Foundation) defended her elite women’s title for the United States at the Pan-American Cyclocross Championships in Falmouth, Massachusetts on Friday. Canadians Sidney McGill (OneBike Racing) and Maghalie Rochette (Specialized/Feedback Sports) completed the podium in second and third, respectively.

“Honestly, my strategy going into today was just to be really smooth and kind of pop out of every turn, stay snappy,” Nuss said noting that the first pass at the sand would be critical.
