REPLAY WORLD CUP NINE MONTH
Show had to be and show was for the first stage of the XCO World Cup 2017. In Nové Město, in the Czech Republic, and live on Red Bull TV, we witnessed the victories of Annika Langvad and Nino Schurter.
On Saturday, in the women's race, the Dane in the rainbow jersey dominated the test from start to finish. The second place of the XNUMX-year-old German Sabine Spitz, third the Swiss Linda Indergand. The podium was completed by Maja Wloszczowska from Poland and Yana Belomoina from Ukraine.
Yesterday among the men (the replay of the race is available on www.redbull.tv) the reigning Olympic and world champion confirmed that he is the most competitive and constant on the international circuit. After the excited departure, due to the breaking of the chain of his teammate Stirnenmann, which caused a mass fall in which McConnell had the worst, the Swiss champion imposed himself, shaking off the surprise of the day, that is to say say the Spaniard Valero Serrano, accelerating at the end of the fourth lap. The rest was a fight for third place between Julien Absalon, who took 6 laps before coming close to the group fighting for third position, Maxime Marotte, Jordan Sarrou and Stephane Tempier, finished in order. Good performance by Marco Aurelio Fontana, who finished in tenth position, first of the Italians. A bad day for the Kulhavy home idol, who appeared out of shape and slowed down by a puncture on the front.
After the first verdicts, the World Cup continues fast and without pauses. The challenge between the best bikers in the world continues next weekend in Albstadt, Germany. And, of course, only live on Red Bull TV.
