LES GETS: Moment of grace for Koretkzy, he also wins the XCO

6th stage of the Cross Country World Cup and encore for the Specialized athlete. Behind him an ever-present Nino Schurter. Nice 11th place for Nadir Colledani (Santa Cruz Factory).

In the men's race it was a home win for Koretzky (Specialized Factory Racing). The Frenchman attacked mid-race to break away from a leading group made up of compatriot Joshua Dubau (Rockrider Ford Racing Team) and the Swiss star Nino Schurter (Scott-SRAM MTB Racing Team).

Korekzy

Koretzy, who won Friday's Short Track World Cup, thrilled the home crowd by crossing the finish line about 17 seconds ahead of the field after a perfect run on the technical and slippery course.

Schurter, who had missed the Short Track due to illness, managed to fight from 25th position on the grid to lead the race in the early stages, but a puncture caused him to lose almost 30 seconds and he had to face a tough fight to climb back up, taking a impressive second place. IMMENSE!

Romanian Vlad Dascalu (Trek Factory Racing) overtook Marcel Guerrini (Bixs Performance Race Team) and Frenchman Dubau on the final lap to take third place. Schurter maintains the overall lead after the sixth of eight rounds.

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').
