Trek World Racing went one-two-three in the men's race and won the women's race at the US Pro GRT finals at Whiteface Mountain in Lake Placid, New York.
In the men's event, Justin Leov defeated Andrew Neethling and Neko Mulally. Tracey Moseley won the women's race ahead of Jill Kintner (Redbull / Oakley) and Jacqueline Harmony (Vixen Racing / AMC). It was Moseley's first appearance in the rainbow-striped jersey as World Champion.
"It was a pretty fun race on a long and challenging downhill course. It feels good to end the season with a win, especially in my first race wearing the rainbow stripes. I definitely didn't spare the horses!" said Moseley.
After qualifying first, third and fourth respectively, with Leov fastest at 7 minutes and 52.95 seconds on the long course, all three found another five to seven seconds for the final, to sweep the podium.
"I thought I'd figured everything out in Canada for the Worlds, so I was really disappointed with my crash there when I was fourth fastest at the split for the day," said Leov. "But today cemented the fact that I had figured things out and I rode strongly and aggressively, and was so pleased with my run."
"It was tough to get motivated after the Worlds, but once I was in the start gate I wanted to win," said Neethling. "I knew Jusso would be tough to beat on this longer than usual course. I gave it everything but I just didn't have the legs at the end. The one-two-three was pretty cool though."
"I rode a good race. I made a few mistakes but put my head down and really went for it," said Mulally, coming off a second place finish in the junior men's race at Worlds
