Some riders were missing from the event who raced in Reno in the UCI C1 event on Wednesday night. Linked to Interbike, the race takes place at night and once again attracted some big name. The Women’s race was won by Maghalie Rochette on Challenge Chicane. “I was pretty excited to the win at this first edition of RenoCross. I just had a smooth ride and was able to stay calm”.

In the men’s race strong performances from Eli Iserbyt and Michael Boros gave them top 10 finishes. In the Women’s event it was Ellen Noble who took the race on with Marianne Vos. Eventually finishing 2^nd after a great battle, Ellen lead a Trek & Challenge Tires 2^nd, 4^th, 6^th in the event. Evie Richards in 4^th was the leading u23 in the race.
