Emma White (Cannondale/Cyclocrossworld.com) of Delanson, NY, pulled away in the final half lap of the Stage Fort Park circuit to take her second ProCX win of the season on Saturday.
White established an early lead with Ellen Noble (Aspire Racing) of Kennebunkport, Maine and French woman Christel Ferrier Bruneau (SAS-Macogep). The group of three exchanged the lead several times. Then with twos laps to go, White attacked, with Noble the only rider to respond. Noble finished 16 seconds back in second, and Ferrier Bruneau would finish third at 34 seconds.
“There were three of us battling pretty hard throughout the race,” said White, who finished second to Noble at this event last year.

“We knew had to play it smart halfway through the race when we were all feeling pretty good. Ellen (Noble) put in a pretty big attack, dropped the third rider with us. So then it was just two of us. We were both feeling pretty strong, it was clear. Going into one to go, she put in a really big dig that got me, I was feeling it for sure. Really I just had to be smooth through the corners. As soon as I caught up, I saw her breathing pretty heavily, so I left.”
Elite Category 2 races, sanctioned by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), will be held again on Sunday for professional women and men.
