2. Jenna Nestman – Automatic Racing
3. Paola Munoz – Fearless Femme pb Beasley Law

2026 Pro Women’s Results

Automatic Racing dictated an aggressive, animated tempo from the opening laps of the Mildred Kugler Pro Women’s Race, triggering a flurry of breakaway attempts from HigherDOSE | Renova, Caldera Medical x AuREA RACING, and 1K Flips Racing. However, Team Twenty28 Pro Cycling stayed entirely committed to a bunch finish, keeping the field on a short leash despite a massive, multi-lap solo attack from Automatic’s Farah-Dale Morris. After Morris and a subsequent late four-rider move were neutralized, a final gambler’s prime taken by Justine Thomas (HigherDOSE | Renova) stretched the field one last time before Laurel Rathburn led through the final turn. In the chaotic finishing straight, Marlies Mejias capitalized on Twenty28’s relentless layout to claim a commanding sprint victory. Jenna Nestman secured second place to reward Automatic’s aggressive teamwork, while Paola Muñoz rounded out the podium with a powerful third-place finish for Fearless Femme Racing.

1. Jim Brown – L39ION of Los Angeles
2. Lucas Bourgoyne – Team Cadence pb Waldo Racing
3. James Wilson – Whoosh – NZ Cycling Project

2026 Pro Men’s Results

The men’s race opened at a relentless pace, with Whoosh – NZ Cycling Project, Kelly Benefits Cycling, and The Parks Law Firm All-Stars p/b Velostar fueling early, field-stretching attacks. While a dangerous seven-rider move briefly gained traction with 17 laps remaining, an attentive peloton brought everything back together to set up a chaotic bunch finish. A crash in Turn 1 with 10 laps to go split the field, kicking off a furious positioning battle between L39ION of Los Angeles and rival lead-out trains. Foundation claimed the late gambler’s prime but shuffled themselves out of position, allowing Cadence Cyclery to seize control of the final corner and launch 2024 winner Lucas Bourgouyne into the home stretch. However, Jim Brown of L39ION was waiting in the wings, striking from Bourgouyne’s wheel in the closing meters to steal the victory, while James Wilson (NZ Cycling Project) executed a perfect bike throw to edge Foundation’s Jordan Parra for third.
