Race 5 - March 22: Elite & U23 Cross Country
Colombian beats the favorites in Chile
Colombian Fabio Castañeda Monsalve defeated a field including many of North and South America's best riders for a win in the Pan American Championship cross country.
On the start list were favorites such as defending Pan Am champion Cristóbal Silva, Colombian Leonardo Paez and American Adam Craig.
A fast start quickly selected a small group of contenders, and Paez was the first man to reach the steep descent. Unfortunately, he crashed and had to run with his bike for half a lap before he could switch out his rear wheels. The mechanical cost him a top placing.
Colombian National Champion Castañeda, Silva, Jeremy Horgan-Kobelski (United States) and Sam Schultz (United States) formed the lead group. Then, on lap three, Castañeda took a turn at the front and increased the pace to take over the lead for good. He finished in 2:15.12, ahead of Schultz (in 2:18.42) and Horgan-Kobelski (2:19.16).
In the women's race, Catherine Pendrel (Canada) had no trouble assuming the lead and maintaining it. She set a fast pace to defeat two Americans: Georgia Gould and Heather Irmiger.
"Being the first race of the season for me makes it very challenging," said Pendrel after the finish. "I felt better than I expected."
Top Under 23 riders included Emily Batty (Canada) and Andres Soto Catriel (Argentina).
