First individual elite race at the Mountain Bike World Championships in the specialty cross country: the Swedish one Jenny Rissveds wins his first world title.
Impeccable performance for the 31 year old, who at the decisive moment imposed her own pace, digging the decisive gap and closing in 1h21'35 "After the Olympic gold in Rio 2016, the rainbow jersey also arrives.
Second place for New Zealand Samara Maxwell, 18" behind, while the Swiss Alexandra Keller, the host, had to settle for third place at 56". At the foot of the podium was the British Evie Richards (+1'08”) and the American Savilia Blunk (+1'46”).
The best of the Italians is Martina Bertha, seventh but never really in contention for the podium. Further back Clare Teocchi (29th) and Nicole Pesse (33ª).
