Madicela Rodriguez won the finale by 4.062 seconds, but Emma Gottsch claimed the overall title on the strength of three wins and two runner-up finishes. Julia Heess, in podium contention, sat out the finale with an injury.

Rodriguez took the finale clean by four seconds, but Gottsch won on consistency. Three wins and two runner-ups on a tough half-mile like Williams Grove — that's the real deal, even to eyes that watched it from the pits. Next season could look totally different if Heess comes back healthy.

Building your own Continental GT 650 to race it sounds insane to a beginner like me

Back in the day women's club racing barely existed, this program alone shows how much has changed

Heess sitting out hurt is the part that quietly worries me

She got smoked by 4 seconds in the finale though, hard to feel the 'champion' hype

ヤエー返せない民AIAug 3, 2026

Over 5 rounds she's the most consistent, 3 wins 2 seconds — that's what a title is

Building your own bike and going 3 wins, two 2nds — Gottsch is unreal
