Jolanda Neff (Trek Factory Racing) won the elite women's race at the C2-level Trek CX Cup held in Waterloo, Wisconsin on Friday. The Olympic Champion in the mountain bike discipline held off second-place finisher Helene Clauzel (AS Bike Cross Team) by 21 seconds. Katerina Nash (Clif Pro Team) was another 22 seconds back for third.

"I haven’t ridden a 'cross bike in two years. Today is my first day back on a 'cross bike since 2019, two years ago at this race," Neff said at the finish line. "I am here for a good time, and today was a really good time.”

Clauzel was together with Caroline Mani (Pactimo fierce team) as the duo rode up the opening climb from the hoteshot. Starting from the back row was Neff, and inside of the first two laps had worked her way to the front. As she completed that lap, Neff caught on the back wheel of Clauzel and Mani and charged to the front, for good.

"I attacked, I passed [Clauzel] and I kept going," she said about working her way through the field in the first two laps of the seven-lap race.
