The UCI Mountain Bike World Cup continues in Albstadt and on Red Bull TV
After the inaugural stage a Nove Mesto, in the Czech Republic, the Cross Country World Cup 2017 Sunday 28 May will stop at Albstadt, in Germany and, as always, on Red Bull TV. Last weeek end we witnessed the victories of Annika Langvad (Specialized) e Nino Schurter (Scott).
On one of the most demanding courses of the circuit, the Dane in the rainbow jersey will try an encore, after putting the German behind her Sabine Spitz and switzerland Linda Indiangand.
On the steep climbs and technical descents that characterize the track designed in the German region of Baden-Württemberg, the Olympic and world champion starts with the underdogs. A week ago the Swiss champion imposed himself in front of the Spaniard Valero Serrano and to the rival of all time, the eternal Frenchman Julian Absalon.
The top ten women and men, including the Canadian, will want to improve their performance Catherine Pendrel, the Polish Maja Wloszczowska, ukraine Yana Belomoina and, in the male field, Maxime Marotte, Jordan Sarrou, Stephane Tempier and blue Marcus Aurelius Fontana. They are looking for redemption, after a disappointing start, the icon of the world mtb Gunn Rita Dahle, Switzerland Yolanda Neff and the colleague Jaroslav Kulhavy.
The appointment with the great mtb is up Red Bull TV next Sunday at 11 with the live show of the women's race and at 14 with the live show of the men.
