Sidney McGill secured her sixth win of the cyclo-cross season by claiming the women’s Elite title at the Boulder Cup on Saturday, defeating Kaya Musgrave in a two-up sprint after completing the race in 0:54:53.
- Eric Brunner’s dominant winning streak continues with his victory in the men’s race.
The former Canadian champion, Sidney McGill, maintained her impressive opening to the 2026/27 cyclo-cross campaign by capturing the Boulder Cup on Saturday. Competing for the Materiaal-Lastig squad, McGill recovered from her third-place result at the Pan-American Championships a week prior by prevailing in a two-up sprint to secure her sixth victory of the season.
Kaya Musgrave of Competitive Edge Racing was edged into second place in the tightly contested finish. Lauren Zoerner, representing Corner Racing p/b Beyond Horizon Media, finished alone in third place, some 30 seconds back.
Eric Brunner was completely dominant in the men’s race, securing a clear victory on the course. The Competitive Edge Racing rider has enjoyed an ideal start to the year, maintaining a perfect record in all five races he has entered, a streak that includes a fifth Pan-Am title claimed last week.
Brunner continued his stranglehold on the North American Elite scene by winning alone, recording the biggest winning margin of his year to date. The first of the chasers to cross the line was Colorado Mesa University’s Garrett Beshore, who came in second 1:08 behind, while his teammate Ivan Sippy rounded out the podium in third, another 53 seconds later.
These two events are held under UCI C1 classification, putting them on par with Europe’s Superprestige and X2O Trofee competitions.
