FGBC CX Pool Roundup

The Fraggle won Koppenbergcross with 455 points. Halberto and Charlene were 2nd and 3rd. They had 405 and 335 points, respectively. In Louisville, Chris O took the win with a 390 point day. I managed 365 points for second place. And in third place, we had a four-way tie between Andy, Dallas, Gary, and Dan. Each of them finished with 340 points on the day.

In the overall race, Jay briefly reclaimed his spot on the podium. He replaced Dallas on the third podium step after Koppenbergcross. But by the end of the day, Jay fell back into fourth place. Dallas moved up to second and pushed Vic down to third place. Gary's lead is now over 500 points. Hopefully he will blow up like he did in his real race on Sunday. But with the rest of the podium challengers beating each other up to become second best, it doesn't look like that will happen anytime soon. There was a little more excitement at the other end of the standings. Graham has moved into last spot. Solidly ensconced in the middle of the back just three weeks ago, his fortunes have been falling for a while now. And by the end of the day yesterday, he found himself clinging to the lanterne rouge. He took it from Rachel and Naomi, who found themselves in the awkward position of having to share it after the Koppenbergcross.

Full results here.

The NCCX series started down south this weekend. I had a nice intro into the 45min CX3 races. All I can say is it's nice to be in contention for a podium spot even if it is only a vicarious one.

I saw the the results. Good numbers! 250+ people per race. We get excited when we get close to the 100 mark. It looks like you held your own. The new ss category seems like a good development too. Was Hawkins racing his old green Fat Chance?
