  • Racing With a Chance

    We have crunched the numbers and this spreadsheet shows who has a mathematical chance to finish first or second in each category in the MFG Cyclocross Series. At stake for the top two finishers in each category is a trip to Prize Table at the MFG Series End Party on Thursday 11/17. There will be some fun battles at Woodland Park on 11/13 for overall titles:

    • The Cat 3 Men have seven riders who can still in the series. WOW!
    • Rich McClung and Sean Kelsey are only separated by 6 points in the Cat 1/2 Master Men 35+
    • Nikos Mills, Todd Gallaher and David Karman all have a chance to win the Cat 1/2 Master Men 45+
    • With Jenni Gaertner missing Woodland Park GP with a trip to the USGP there are five women still in the hunt for the Cat 1/2 Women’s title.
    • The Cat 3 Master Men 45+ is four man race for the crown.
    • Kevin Raymond and Cosmic Miller are tied for first in the Cat 3 Master Men 55+. That will be a fun winner take all battle between the two of them.
    • Same is pretty much true of Alastair Magun and Alex Walentynowicz in the Jr Boys 10-12. If Alex can get just one rider between him and Alastair in the final race results he can move into first overall.
    • The 13-14 Boys and Girls also have close races overall between just two riders respectively.
    • Good battle for second in the Master Women. Sorry Kim, Jitka has a nice cushion for first. Just stay on the bike next Sunday Jitka.
    Congratulations to the following riders who have clinched overall titles:
    • Jamie Schoenborn – Cat 3 Women
    • Theresa Harding – Cat 4 Women
    • Matthew Wilkinson – Jr Boys 15-16
