Thanks @KatieFnCompton for such a great race at #cxworlds. Proud you were wearing stars and stripes.
I think one of the amazing stories and probably the best reason to watch the Cyclocross World Championships in Koksijde was the elite women’s race. While Marianne Vos completely dominated the race from lap 1, the true race was for second. The most impressive ride was by Katie Compton. She crashed in lap 1 (1st picture) and looked like she was out of it, but then by lap 3 she made it back in to 2nd place (2nd picture). She finished 5th, but dang what a impressive ride. Really inspiring.
