Cycling Mt. Bike – Sea Otter Classic Pro Men & Women Downhill results

Tracy Moseley (Trek World Cup) took a narrow victory overy Melissa Buhl (KHS) in the elite women’s downhill on Sunday morning. Moseley started first and enjoyed an open track en route to setting a time that would hold up as the fastest throughout the finals.

I unclipped in the first turn and it took me a bit to clip back in and find my rhythm. I overcooked another turn, too. I wasn’t riding as precisely as I would have liked.”

Nonetheless, her run was still good enough for a win, which she collected thanks to a 0.6-second advantage over Buhl.

Buhl, who was the last rider to start and the other top favorite besides Moseley, encountered some traffic on the way down. She ran into interference in the final stretch as she attempted to pass the rider who had started in front of her, Abigail Hippely. “I’ve passed riders before, but I’ve never lost by this close of a margin after doing so.

Late entry Leipheimer wins 69-mile men’s pro road race

Although the Sea Otter Classic attracts its share of mountain bike world titlists and Olympic medalists, it’s rare when top Tour de France riders compete. But in recent years, Levi Leipheimer has made a habit of unexpectedly registering at the last minute to pedal on the peninsula in mid-April.

Friday was no different as Leipheimer, 35, the third-place finisher in the 2007 Tour de France and three-time Tour of California winner, added to his strong early season by winning the 69-mile men’s pro road race at Laguna Seca Recreation Area…Â DetailsÂ
