Before making her 2014 road debut at the Waalse Pijl on April 23, World Champion Marianne Vos is making a stop in sunny California to defend her 2013 Sea Otter mountain bike victories.
Last year, Vos won both the women's short track and cross-country races.
Held since 1991, the Sea Otter Classic is a bicycling festival and expo held in Monterey, California, featuring a Gran Fondo and racing in just about every discipline.
Vos will compete in the short track race later today and in the xc race on Saturday.
