Tobin Ortenblad (Santa Cruz/Donkey Label Racing) of California, outkick Aspire Racing duo Jeremy Powers and Spencer Petrov in the final turns to win his fourth ProCX event this year.
Petrov finished four seconds back and Powers crossed the line nine seconds down for third. This was the third second-place finish for 10-year-old Petrov in a ProCX Elite Men’s race this year.
Curtis White (Cannondale) led the charge with a fast start, forcing a small group to form early on. White later succumbed to a flat tire, leaving the battle for the podium to be contested between Massachusetts teammates Powers and Petrov, and Ortenblad.

“I still cannot believe how the season is unfolding. I’ve always wanted a win at the legendary Gloucester,” said Ortenblad, who is the men’s point leader for ProCX.
“Patience was a big part of it. You’re out there with two of the fastest guys and they’re also on the same team so they definitely are working against you. Initially I went out a little hard, and then I saw that it was going to be a team thing at the end and really just tried to be patient.”
Elite Category 2 races, sanctioned by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), will be held again on Sunday for professional women and men.
