Caroline Mani won the C1 round of Cincinnati Kings CX held at Kingswood Park in Mason, Ohio, on Saturday. The French rider beat Lizzy Gunsalus and Jenna Lingwood in the opening round of the weekend's Cincinnati Cyclo-cross Festival.

The 2.8km course was held on rolling terrain with many short ups and downs, a good portion of off-camber turning, a run-up, and a sand pit with a slightly uphill and paved start and finish.

Cyclingnews is the world's leader in English-language coverage of professional cycling. Started in 1995 by University of Newcastle professor Bill Mitchell, the site was one of the first to provide breaking news and results over the internet in English. The site was purchased by Knapp Communications in 1999, and owner Gerard Knapp built it into the definitive voice of pro cycling. Since then, major publishing house Future PLC has owned the site and expanded it to include top features, news, results, photos and tech reporting. The site continues to be the most comprehensive and authoritative English voice in professional cycling.
