\nMacphee leads in Nove Mesto<\/p>\n

Katrin Embacher of Austria put a big dig into the under-23 women\u2019s field, winning by a very solid 1:24 ahead of Anina Hutter and Valentina Corvi on Saturday. Macphee finished on the same minute as the chasing duo, earning her a fifth place in the XCO to add to her top-10 from Friday\u2019s XCC race.<\/p>\n

Rafaelle Carrier followed in 25th for Canada with Ella Myers the final Canadian finishing on the lead lap in 36th.<\/p>\n

On the men\u2019s side, it was Thibaut Francois taking a close win for the under-23 XCO. The Spanish rider crossed the line with second and third both on the same minute, 24 and 42 seconds behind. Those spots go, as they did on Friday in the XCC, to Alix Andre Gallis and Nael Rouffaic.<\/p>\n

Ian Ackert led the Canuck contingent in Nove Mesto, finishing 17th. Maxime St. Onge followed in 31st, Soren Weslake 34th and Alexander Woodford 52nd.<\/p>\n
