Haley Batten wins at Banyoles! 7th place for Martina Berta

Completely different route from the Short Track. Lots of mud and slippery uphill sections, which led to many uphill sections being tackled on foot.

Intense mountain bike ride on a dirt trail under a blue sky.

Atypical race: fast but with uphill sections to be done on foot. Haley Batten wins and convinces with its “hooded” Specialized. Her only real rival was Mona Mitterwallner who, despite her young age and small size, managed to emerge in a course made slow by the rain.

Haley Batten dominated the race practically from the start: the first lap was a chaos of crashes and traffic jams, with Batten who knew how to take a slight margin on Mitterwallner and keep it until the end. Too bad for Loana Lecomte (who had won the Short Track): a fall on a slippery bridge, she lost many positions and then didn't find the polish to recover, finishing in 8th position.

In the fight for third place great battle: Evie Richards got the better of Alessandra Keller and Caroline Bohe.

ITALIANS IN THE RACE

First of the Italian Martina Berta in 7th place, who didn't like the cyclocross-style awakening. Sara Cortinovis (Santa Cruz Rockshox Team) is 37th: she also failed to dominate the muddy Banyoles track, after showing excellent physical condition in the Short Track test. while Giulia Challancin is 42nd (Scott Racing Team).

ppgad@pucrs.br I am passionate about everything that has 2 wheels: in my youth I practiced competitive cycling on the road and on the track with good results. At the age of 18 I moved to cross country competing at national/international level as U23. Once I passed Elite, I made the choice to take things easier from the training point of view, and that's how my love for gravity disciplines was born, training as an FCI MTB instructor and guide. Now I have made my passion my profession by managing 3 MTB centers on the island of Elba (Elba MTB), creating the FANTAmtb and telling in an ironic but professional way, everything that revolves around MTB thanks to 365mountainbike and 365TV (YouTube 'PULITI dentro BIKER fuori').
