At the series' last stop in Mercer County NJ, Georgia Gould took both wins and the leader's jersey heading into Portland. The Luna rider proved today that her New Jersey sweep was no fluke as she powered her way to victory over Katie Compton and the entire women's field. At the beginning of the race Compton was able to take a lead but could not lose Gould who was able to keep the number two ranked rider in the world in her sights. Gould had slightly better handling skills in the technical sections and was able to catch Compton and eventually pulled past her. Gould finished with a 23 second margin over Compton and keeps the leader's jersey going into the series finale. There was a battle for second place as Compton was caught by Katerina Nash (Luna) but eventually fought her off to finish second. Nash who rounded out the podium in third, again showed great determination as she started in the second row and fought her way to the podium.
