Email
Print (Aug. 19, 2016) – Raphael Gagne (CAN/Cannondale 360fly p/b SUGOI) and Larissa Connors (Silverado, Calif./TWENTY16 Pro Cycling) locked up the men’s and women’s 2016 Pro Mountain Bike Cross-Country Tour (Pro XCT) standings wins following the conclusion of the Aug. 13-14 Windham Pro XCT in Windham, N.Y.
Gagne did not record any points at the event, but he did not need them, as his 200 men’s standings points were enough to edge second-place finisher Stephen Ettinger (Bellingham, Wash./Ridebiker p/b Focus) by two. Larissa Connors (Silverado, Calif./TWENTY16 Pro Cycling) padded her lead with an 11th-place finish to bring her total to a women’s standings best 290 points for the win.
