The Mercedes-Benz UCI Mountain Bike Cross-Country World Cup in Snowshoe, USA, was full of action despite being rain-affected.
A partisan home crowd was treated to American winners in the women's and men's XCC races on Friday evening. Gwendalyn Gibson won the women's race while reigning XCC world champion Christopher Blevins was victorious in the men's event.
In an event that saw a deluge of rain come down mid-race, Jenny Rissveds and Alessandra Keller found themselves leading during the final stages. Rissveds was the main driving force in the singletracks and descents, with Keller pulling back time in the climbs. A moment of lapsed focus coming into an off-camber corner in the final lap saw Rissveds lose traction, crash and slide down, and it was then that Keller took the opportunity to power away. Rissveds tried to close the gap, but Keller seized the moment and was full gas to the end, whereas the Swedish rider dropped back and took second place.
David Valero-Serrano emerged as the strongest man in an attritional men’s race on a very sodden Snowshoe track. Valero-Serrano was involved in a final lap shoot-out for the win after catching a lead group of Titouan Carod, Christopher Blevins and Luca Braidot on the penultimate lap (lap 7). Blevins attacked first on the final lap, but Carod and Valero-Serrano managed to get back on his wheel. With a sprint finish looming, Valero-Serrano took the lead of the group and attacked. The Spaniard broke the will of Blevins first and then distanced Carod with the finish straight looming to take his first World Cup win. Carod finished second, with Braidot passing Blevins on the finish line for third place.

Awuante Valero !!!!!!!!!!!!! 💪

@b.willisfederer8720 Год назад

Alessandraaaaaaaaaaaaaa Kelleeeeeeeeeer! What a great season she's having! Swiss champion of XCO (which is almost like being world champion), winner of short-tracks, now in XCO, several week-end in both podiums, leader of the XCC rankings, 3rd of the overall (only 24 points - on around 1500 - away from the 2nd place, and less than 100 of the 1st rank, so, with 2 good races in Val Di Sole, she would win both rankings)... excuse for the few! Very excited to see what she can do in the european and world championships these next weeks; same for Neff, back in great shape (5th in both races in Snowshoe and winner of both races last week) is the olympic champion; will she win another world champion and/or another european champ title? Wait and see!

Grande Braidot 🥳🥳

Going into it, with Loana and Sina out, with the lack of climbing, it was clear it was going to be a Keller vs Risveds battle with Terpstra and McConnell strong contenders, the only crazy thing was how many Americans were in the top 10.

@b.willisfederer8720 Год назад

It could also have been for Neff, who finished 5th in both the race of Snowshoe (short-track and XCO). Neff proved it by winning both the races the next week-end, in Canada, with the same awful weather full of hard and violent rain. But it's true that Mont Saint-Anne is better for her, who won there for the 4th time in XCO (+ the XCC as well last week) and also finished 2nd in the world championships there back in 2019. And about the big number of americans, yes, a bit crazy, but not so much. Many great pilots were absent (Frei, Indergand, the 2 swiss olympic medalists of last year, with Neff, Lecomte, Ferrand-Prevost, Laura Stigger, Evie Richards, the world champion in title, Ramona Forchini - another swiss girl - who was on the previous podium, 3rd in Vallnord...), and u almost always have better success in ur own country.

Song?

@johndef5075 Год назад

Cris Blevins impressive. Without that flat who knows?

@b.willisfederer8720 Год назад

Filippo Colombo also had a flat tire, and it was far away of the technical zone... then he came back till the FIRST position in the beginning of the last lap, despite the flat tire... to fall down a few seconds later. HE would clearly have won without it. The next week anyways (last week now), he won the short-track easily and finished 2nd in the XCO, another proof he's in great shape. And another 1 is the fact he may win the XCC overall if he finishes the last one of the season, in Val Di Sole, Italy, in a good positon and a few places in front of Alan Hatherly.

@juanhidalgo7043 Год назад

Well actually she got lucky! How come she didn’t wait for Jenny. In cycling t waiting is the honorable thing to do shamelesss

@simonkahlen9116 Год назад

Mhm I feel like in such a situation in mountain biking it’s a bit different than in road racing

@Megahegs Год назад

Nope. Focus under duress is part of the game.

@tomw0815 Год назад

You don't wait in track cycling, you don't wait in cyclo cross and MTB. Only here and there on an individual basis riders wait in road cycling when a competitor falls. But that is also really rare and not the rule.

@PlaySA Год назад

It's a race my man. When someone crashes out in auto or motorcycle racing do all the other drivers/riders stop the race to help them out? How about a track and field sprint or cross country race? Get real, not falling is part of the challenge in a mountain bike race. Jenny knew she made a mistake and was happy to congratulate the winner who didn't make such a mistake.

@b.willisfederer8720 Год назад

Wait for Jenny? R u stupid? In every races, many of them fall; no one never wait anyone, they all try to win, that's 100% normal. Jenny would never have waited her neither. In the last few years, Keller broke both her hands in the same time, then another time the wrist, then she had surgery on the knee in 2021... who waited for her? And it's not at all luck, it's stupid to say that as well, and a proof u didn't watch the race. Keller was clearly stronger. The proof is that Jenny lost only a few seconds with her fall, and wasn't injured, and she passed the next checkpoint less than 10 seconds behind Keller... to finish the race 37 seconds after her, so, Alessandra has been able to win almost 30 seconds in a single lap to Jenny, after she went back on her bike and very fast. The 1 who's been really lucky this year is Luca Braidot. He won in Lenzerheide only cause he 2 swiss in front of him (who were at the time n°1 and 2 in the overall, and who both r legends with countless titles and victories) crashed together (Flückiger made Schurter fall, trying to overpass him were it wasn't possible) after 99% of the race. And then, the next week, he won again, in Vallnord, cause the leader of the race, way in front of him in the last lap, had a technical pb that made him lose 3 ranks. So yes, Braidot is the luckiest man on Earth, he won his 1st 2 races ever back to back, with both time an undeniable huge luck. He recognized it himself. But in this case, considering Keller lead the race many times before the fall of Rissveds, and that she has been able to win 30 seconds to Jenny after she came back fro her fall is an undeniable proof she was really stronger this day. Keller is the leader of the 2022 rankings in short-track, and is 3rd in the overall, less than 100 pts (on 1500 in total) away from the lead, so, she's 1 of the 2-3 best pilots of 2022, like she was in U23 (world champion a few years ago).
