The final round of the NORBA Mountain Cross was contested in Durango overnight, with Cedric Gracia taking out the mens race and Sabrina Jonnier winning the womens event.
Jonnier's win, from Aussie rider Tai Lee Muxlow and Brit Fionn Griffiths gave her enough points to pip Jill Kintner for the overal series title.
Kintner tangled with Aussie rider Katrina Miller early in the second round and came off second best, but still held onto the U.S. National Title.
Gracia beat out Chris Kovarik and Eric Carter in the mens final, meaning Carter held onto to the lead he took into the finals to win the NORBA overall and U.S. National titles from compatriot Mike King, with Chris Kovarik third in the overall standings.
