FAVORITES
In the women's XCO, Puck Pieterse's (Alpecin-Deceuninck) sixth place in Snowshoe, USA, has already sealed the overall title. The 21-year-old Dutchwoman won the overall World Cup in her first year in the Elite category. However, the other podium spots remain open, so expect an intense battle between Austria's Mona Mitterwallner (Cannondale Factory Racing Team) and France's Loana Lecomte (Canyon CLLCTV), who are second and third in the standings, respectively.
While in the men's category the Swiss Nino Schurter (Scott SRAM MTB Racing Team) leads the overall standings, with just 89 points left by France’s Jordan Sarrou (Team BMC), who will be pumped after his stunning win in Snowshoe last weekend. Third-place finisher Mathias Flückiger (Thömus Maxon) and fourth-place finisher Luca Schwarzbauer (Canyon CLLCTV) are also in the fight for the win.
It’s a similar story in the DH competition, with the women’s overall winner already decided in Snowshoe last weekend. Current UCI World Champion Valentina Höll (Rockshox Trek Race Team) dominated the World Cup with a race to spare.
But things are much less certain below her in the overall standings with just 29 points separating runner-up Nina Hoffman (Santa Cruz Syndicate) and last weekend's winner Marine Cabirou (Scott Downhill Factory) in third place.
Meanwhile, in the men's race, there is still a lot to play for. Frenchman Loïc Bruni (Specialized Gravity) leads the overall but just 60 points behind him is his compatriot Loris Vergier of Trek Factory Racing Gravity. Canadian Jackson Goldstone (Santa Cruz Syndicate) is third and a further 92 points behind Vergier. Meanwhile, another Canadian, Finn Iles (Specialized Gravity), still has the chance to get on the podium and will try to repeat last year's success in front of his home crowd.
