"This track really suited my style of riding," said Sharrah afterwards. "I had a really good gate and won the big battle to get into the first turn first. When I realized I was leading, it was all about staying calm and focused. That was the critical part for me. It feels fantastic to win the first World Cup of the season." On the women's side of competition, Americans Brooke Crain (Visalia, Calif./Haro-Rockstar) and Alise Post (St. Cloud, Minn./Redline Bicycles) made it to the semi-finals, but missed out on spots in the main after placing 5th and 7th respectively.
