Nate Shaw posted the top finish for the Scott/Ritchey/Sram Cyclocross Team at the NCNCA CUP #4 hosted by CCCX at Manzanita Park near Monterey.
Shaw moved constantly forward among his division throughout the race. It was great to witness Shaw pass so many riders on his way to a fine finish. It appears Shaw is really finding his form for the later part of the Cyclocross season.
The course was full of mud bogs, water traps, wet grass sections, and prime packed sand turns from recent rains. It was a true challenge for the Scott/Ritchey Team riders and their Cyclocross racing equipment.
The entire Scott/Ritchey Team hopes for a speedy recovery to Nick Hanni. The hard charging Hanni took a routine slip during a turn in some slick mud that produced a incredibly deep slice to his knee and required stitches to mend. Hanni is tuff as nails, and is sure to be back in the saddle as soon as possible.
