I cant thank my teammate enough (Brendon Davids) commented mens Pro UET winner Eric Bostrom. He got us a good gap early that we maintained until the finish. My equipment worked perfect from the Maxxis Crossmarks to my S-Works Epic 29, everything was flawless! Im super happy to leave here with the number one plate and leading the series.</p><p>
</p><p>
In the womens race, Monique Mata showed why she is considered one of the best female endurance athletes in North America as she won her second straight Pro UET race by over twenty three minutes.

It was a tough race due to the heat, but my S-Works 29 Epic and team performed perfectly this weekend. commented Monique Mata from the podium.</p><p>
