Katie Compton (Trek) and Wout Van Aert (Crelan) lead the UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup women’s and men’s standings, respectively, after winning the second round at Jingle Cross in Iowa City on Saturday.
Compton dominated the women’s short 37-minute Jingle Cross race, pulling away from her rivals half way through the race and winning solo by 18 seconds over Frenchwoman Caroline Mani and 23 seconds over US compatriot Kaitlin Antonneau.
Her victory was enough to bump her up into the overall World Cup lead, after she had placed third behind Sophie De Boer and Nash in the opener Cross Vegas on Wednesday.

Compton now leads the World Cup standings with 105 points, while Nash is in second with 90 points and De Boer slipped to third with 88 points.
Despite the early lead, Compton says she is not pursuing the World Cup title this season, and is instead placing a bigger focus on winning the World Championships.
