Anticipation was high in the Austrian crowd as Kolb put in a fantastic run and was duly rewarded with first place.

However, with eight other runners still at the start, the tension was palpable. But Finn Iles (Specialized Gravity) was unable to lower his time, not even Loic Bruni. Only Jackston Goldstone seemed able to win worrying the Austrian but a mistake in the final corner relegated him to 3rd place.

famac@famac.ind.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').
