Women
Lea Davison (Jericho, Vt./Specialized Factory Racing) dominated the Fontana City National US Cup women's field, pushing the pace hard right from the gun and winning by almost three minutes over Woodruff. Evelyn Dong (Park City, Utah) placed third with Nina Baum (Albuquerque, N.M./Stan's No Tubes Women) and Erica Tingey (Salt Lake City, Utah/Jamis) rounding out the top five.
Davison's win moves her into third place in the Pro XCT women's standings after three events with 350 points. Woodruff moves from third place to first place with 450 points, taking over the top spot from Emily Batty (CAN/Trek Factory Racing), who did not race in Fontana but remains in second place in the standings with 375 points. Annie Last (GBR/Trek Factory Racing), also idle this weekend, sits in fourth place with 340 points, while Tingey and Judy Freeman (Littleton, Colo./Crankbrothers Race Club) are tied for fifth place with 300 points apiece.
Men
A last lap charge on the Fontana City course from Todd Wells (Durango, Colo./Specialized Racing), combined with a broken chain by Bishop, propelled Wells to his first XCT win of 2013.Bishop regrouped to finish second after leading the majority of the race before suffering the mechanical mishap. Rounding out the top five in Fontana were Cameron Jette (CAN/Scott-3ROXRacing) in third place, Benjamin Sonntag (Durango, Colo./American Interbanc) in fourth, and Mitchell Hoke (Boulder, Colo./Kenda-Felt) in fifth.
Bishop remains in the lead of the Pro XCT men's standings with 600 points, with Wells narrowing the gap in second place with 525 points.
