Rochester Cyclocross Race: Manon Bakker and Eric Brunner win elite C1 races in second round of US Cyclocross Series

Manon Bakker (Crelan-Corendon) wins Rochester Cyclocross C1 women's race.

Manon Bakker (Crelan-Corendon) and Eric Brunner (Competitive Edge Racing) won the C1 races on the first day of Rochester Cyclocross in Rochester, New York, the second round of the US Cyclocross Series (USCX).

Capitalising on an early crash by Nico Noll and Lauren Zorner, Bakker surged ahead with Caroline Mani (VeloMafia) and Sydney McGill (Lastig Off-Road Racing) in close pursuit through the opening laps. Their move split the race and left the rest of the pack scrambling to recover. Behind the leaders, Canadian Maghalie Rochette (SRAM/Seeker) launched a determined chase, steadily working her way through traffic until she joined Mani and McGill before the halfway point of the race.
