Switzerland's Anja Grossman won the junior women's title at the European Cyclocross Championships in Pontevedra and paid an emotional, tear-filled tribute to her former teammate Muriel Furrer, who died in a crash at the Road World Championships.
Grossman beat Barbora Bukovská (Czechia) and Giorgia Pellizotti (Italy) to the line at the end of the 37-minute race after the trio plus Mae Cabaca (Netherlands) went clear at the front in the second half of the race. The final lap saw the podium contenders battle over the win, with Grossman pushing on late in the race and pulling out a small gap which she held to the finish line.
