Eric Brunner (WTB Pivot) won the opening round of elite men’s C2 racing on Saturday for Nash Dash CX in Hampton, Georgia. He was 3:34 faster than second-placed Andrew Dillman (Ignition p/b Rigd-Leitner) and another 1:11 better than Casey Hildebrandt (Broken Spoke / TNR Tape) in third, an all-US podium.

“I went out hard, took the hole shot, and kind of buried myself to get a gap,” Brunner said at the finish.
