It was another unbelievable day for the LUNA Chix Pro Team with Catharine Pendrel winning the World Cup Finals in Windham, NY and Georgia Gould finishing 3rd. The win gave Catharine her first World Cup Overall title, joining Marie Helen Premont and Alison Sydor as the only other Canadian women to win the overall. Georgia's stellar ride moved her up to 4th overall. It was a day of champagne and flowers for the team with lots of celebrating. Congratulations everyone!
The LUNA Pro Team showed once again why it is the #1 women's mountain bike team in the world, dominating the World Cup in Val di Sole, Italy with Georgia Gould finishing in 7th, Katerina Nash on the podium again in 5th, and Catharine Pendrel regaining the World Cup leader's jersey after a fantastic sprint finish for 2nd.

All of the road racing Katerina Nash has been doing the past two months is paying big dividends, evident by her 5th place finish in the 4th round of the UCI World Cup in Champery, Switzerland. Her teammates didn't fare as well, struggling with mechanicals and an extremely muddy course that kept them from preriding many of the technical sections the day before. Georgia finished in 11th and Catharine in 16th. Katerina is now in 11th overall, Georgia in 6th, and Catharine in 3rd with two races left. The team is now off to sunnier skies, olive oil, and lots of garlic with next weekend's race in Italy.
