The format included qualifying on the flying lap where the best 16 times then challenged each other from the round of 2019 to the final, always with times on the flying lap. Molly Simpson (CAN) and the UCI XNUMX world champion Payton Ridenour (USA) come out by surprise, already during the round of XNUMX.

During the semifinals, the 2021 world champion (Aiko Gommers) also bows out. Christa Van Niederhäusern and Sabina Košárková, among the women, and Niels Bensink and Alec Bob, among the men, arrive in the final.

In the women's Big Final Christa Van Niederhäusern wins with a time of 25.586 while among the men the best time is set by Niels Bensink with 23.171.

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').
