The battle for second place would stay tight until the penultimate lap when Honsinger was able to dispatch Munro. Mani chased alone in fourth with Samantha Runnels (Squid X Eliel) and Sunny Gilbert (Pactimo/Colorado Proud) just behind her. She finished an impressive third and fourth at the two World Cup rounds in September. Honsinger has been a force to be reckoned with to start the season. Behind, Munro was in a tight battle with Clara Honsinger (Team S&M CX). Once Compton opened a gap on the rest of the field, it was a lead she would not relinquish for the rest of the six-lap race. The injury, which occurred in early August, severely hampered Compton at the opening two rounds of the World Cup in Iowa City and Waterloo. However, by the end of the opening lap, Compton demonstrated she is coming into form and nearly fully recovered from a fractured elbow. Munro wasted little time getting to the front and pushing the pace to the delight of the crowd.
