The fearsome greensome twosome of Antonneau and Duke race for second and third
The (SRAM, Avid and Zipp-equipped) Cannondale-Cyclocrossworld.com women, Kaitie Antonneau and Nicole Duke, have been climbing podiums since the beginning of what feels like an incredibly long cyclocross season. Their rise peaked at Sunday’s Cross Nationals in the unseasonably warm and muddy conditions in Madison, WI, where the greensome-twosome rounded out the US National Championship podium behind an unstoppable Katie Compton (Rabobank). Congrats on a great U.S. season to the entire team and to Katie and Nicole, who constantly made it exciting.
