And then they will wait for the gun. And they are off in racing here in Pal. Aaron Salandor. Jen Jackson extremely strong off the line as is Lara Steer on the right hand side up the inside leads them up the climb on the first lap. Four wins in a row for the FL Dutch woman. We talked about it before about the altitude and it means these races are just going to have to be respect this short track a little bit more and we’re going to see maybe a bit more of a KG race. Yep. It’s definitely uh the altitude. Richard Risfits Peterson Keller Jackson Stagger. Oh, going down. Better going down. Just getting stuck between lines slightly there. Ollie. Yeah, it’s so loose. And she just came off between the two and in the wrong gear now as well. Stuck in a massive gear trying to get moving again. As the race goes on, you just mean all that blood’s going to your legs like you say, less to your head. The arms start to go a bit and that dexterity and that fine skill goes. Just struggling to see where Puck Peterson is at the front of this one. Fifth position at the moment. Just drifted back a little bit. All of a sudden, not quite. Maxwell still 14th now. And it’s amazing once you get a bad start. Yeah. And it’s a scrap now. They’re all going to have a fight. They all want to be in the single track. There’s an attack from Puck Peterson up the bottom of this climb. and just use it as a springboard and it’s going to be first into the woods and maybe a little feeler there Ollie but Richard did well to respond to that one. Yeah, that was a pretty stinging attack but you saw there was a as soon as she attacked there was little gaps appearing. Jen Jackson just struggling to follow a little bit and I think that I think Puck’s tactic is going to be just keep hitting them every time. Peterson on the canyon bike from Alpas to Kernik. Keller at the front now leads them for the first time. Header Richards Peterson Risfords. Rristford’s doing what we’re used to seeing Jenny Risfords do here. Ollie just keeping her nose clean. Look at Keller really putting the pressure down and it’s actually Puck Peterson’s just struggling a little bit. We know Keller’s coming into form like they say Swiss cross country champion last week and twotime winner here. Loves the course, loves the altitude. There’s Ronny Bluringer live factory racing but Keller looking like she’s really really pushing Richard’s looking so strong. Blurtlinger past Peterson now Ra Blinger on the podium as things stand as they head onto the start finish. Eie Richards looks over the wrong shoulder. 178 beats per minute deep into the red zone on her Whoop live. Eevee Richard stands on the pedals and climbs up the start finish straight. She took that UCI World Champs win on last season. Grits the teeth. One lap to go. But we know Allessander Keller is extremely strong. Keller, is this going to be enough? Are we going to see Alandra Keller take a UCI World Cup win? You see Richard just struggling to get some air back in the lungs. I think if Eevee can get back on terms, we know she’s probably got the better sprint, but Keller pushing on through the single track. A win here for Keller would pull her even with Pauline for Provo on six career UCI World Cup short track wins. The Rich just a little bit fast, but there’s a proper gap there. E Richard carrying speed into this off campus section. This is going to come down to the final straight. You’d have to think if Richards can get across this gap. And look, Keller doesn’t want to let her across. Keller does not want to let the UCI world champion back on her back wheel before the final sprint to the line. They’re roaring on by the crowd in the woods. Keller emerges from the woods first. Aliceandra Keller, the Swiss star. Shoulders rolling, head rolling. Every single ounce of energy going into that Tumis Maxin bike. Bie Riches. You got one climb left. And here we go. They’re going to head on to the start finish. Alisandra Keller, is she going to be able to stay ahead of Eevee Richards? Alisandra Keller going for her first win since Leier 2024. Alisandra Keller is undefeated in the short track in Palar and Salora. Three wins in a row. Ollie, how far did she go from that time? It’s going to take some recovery to get over that, but I feel like I’ve got black tight. I’m sat in a chair here in Palaron S. Keller wins by four seconds. Blurtling her career best finish for her. Her previous best was a sixth. 10 seconds back in third place for Live Factory Racing. Then it was Peterson, Coler, Jackson, Steager, Risfits, Vman, Forchini rounded out the top 10. Honestly, uh I think you everyone knows how my winter was. So, um coming back from an injury is never easy. So, I can’t complain any um how it worked at the beginning. But uh I mean obviously Andor is a very good spot for me. So I’m very very happy to get to win here again. Amy Richard and here Impal Aaron Sal and Pandora and they go green. Vari slightly slow off the line. Cleans extremely good start for the rider in red and leads him around the righthander for the first time. Schwarz bars up alongside him on the right hand side though as the pack all stay upright. Yeah, good start as well for Mattz Flinger on the inside. You can see this split line section for the first time. Fluger folds himself around that tree beautifully. Yeah, good start. You see, Nino Sher just going for that right line, gaining a few spots as well, but it’s always a bit sketchy as he’s riding these two lines. And you can see the bottleneck noise starting to form as Flutter just gets on with getting at the front. Super punchy start by Matt looking up. We need to talk about that man on in the shop. Now, Victor Caretsky Ollie, he needs a win this year, doesn’t he? He needs to establish himself back at the front of the short track. Yeah, world champion here last year and could just say not quite theme firing especially the last couple of races on the gold bike from origine racing division getting up in amongst it as well. There’s your UCI world champion Victor Caretsky with Martin Vidari in close company. Blevens though just marking fluker like certain brands of stout they don’t travel well but get them into Europe Timus Maxon come alive with a big big crash bar goes down that dodgy corner it’s super loose and that’s where we saw Martina Ba go down in the elite women’s race and the same thing all of a sudden you’re in the wrong gear at the bottom of a climb though look at that well we we mentioned it in the elite women’s race didn’t we’ll see more of this on Sunday that up this high this little oxygen around the chances of pilot error are increased even with Thomas Lcher though literally second now short track rider to be around so there’s the two giant riders Lion Stern Carter Woods and Alen Hley there Schwarzbar looks to be up and moving all right good to see the Scotch Ram riders just having to slot his bike in there on the left hand side the elbows There’s Charlie Aldridge. Look at Martan’s teammate, but he’s looking fast to that line. And is Martan going to take the lead with that line choice as well. Look like it just smash back together again. Yeah, Martan in the lead now ahead of Blevens. And Blevens will have to be wary of this move because Martan full of confidence from that French national champs win. I think Chris Bleven will be happy for Luca Martin to take the lead of it. This means he can sit back and follow. It’s really really lumpy on the exit off the woods there as you can see as they fight for position up into the right hand side here. But Martan I think is just a little bit faster. Oh, Aldridge into the lead now. So Charlie Aldridge really making that right hand line work for him and doing a really good race so far. He didn’t have the best of starts. His gridding was a little further back. Just looking down at the bike though. Aldridge took a chain off. It’s another He’s had another problem with a chain. Charlie Aldridge in 2025. cannot catch a mechanical break and that puts Christopher Blevens into the lead of this race. Ollie Beckale not liking what he’s seeing. Absolute nightmare. He hits the front. He’s doing the perfect race and then a mechanical chain off Nino Sherter, but you can see this attack from Caretski on the left hand side. Bleven’s marked them for most of it, but Careski got the job done. Two specialized, two Scotch Rams. That’s a nail in an orang. A strain number on a short track’s impressive, but so is this attack from Christopher Blevens up the climb. Matan goes with him. Aaro tries to go with him. But Martin’s got it covered by the way that Chris Bleven’s right to ride. He did that big attack and therefore he needs Victor Caretski down and he’s taken Nino Sugar with him and it’s a chain that’s gone. Martan attacks. Blevens up the climb. Aaro’s right there. Aaro’s been with them all race long at the front, but Martan leads him in the woods on the last lap. He cuts round. There’s no recovery now. Martan grits his teeth. This is it. Time to burn whatever matches you have left. Christopher Blevens, undefeated in 2025, is in second place currently. They’re up out of the saddle. They’re heading for the start finish straight. Blevens has got a problem in the shape of Luca Martan to solve here. Cannondale versus Specialized. Here they go under the start. Finish straight for the last time. It’s Martan versus Blevens. Martan kicks. Bleven sticks deep. Christopher Blevens has to play second place for the first time in 2025. Here’s what it means for excuse me. Here are the results of the race then. Martan, Blevens, Aaro, your top three. Then it was Columbbo Sink Woods Hily Andreas and Brado and Sher now 10th. Yeah, it’s amazing to ride with the big guys because yeah, it’s my first year elite and last week I’m French championship two time and yeah, I think he’s amazing block and but uh yeah uh I don’t understand now. I need to some recovery for Anderson like he’s my first win but yeah so many work with the team and so happy the back work so well on this track and the tire everything for the official picture ladies and gentlemen for Chris and gentlemen it’s time to pop the cateor A still learning the craft and growing. She’s got a factory deal this year. She’s been uh building off that confidence that the Q factory racing team has has had under that tent. You know, Max has had some great results this year. that juniors have been riding really well and now Jess is becoming one of those riders that we we expect to do well. We expect her to to be at the pointy end and uh now we uh we’re really hoping for her to to get back on that podium. Really fast across those first couple of corners. She was fourth here in 2022 and 13th at the UCI Worlds last season. Nico full gloveless full Kiwi. Yeah, I’ve seen a few Kiwis running that style. I don’t know. They must have sticky palms down there in New Zealand. Sam Blanken’s legacy lives on. Josh, I mean, you’re from that rough part of the world. What is going on with the no gloves? Can you explain? It’s a no for me. I don’t possess that talent. I’m either way too nervous and sweaty palms and mum spaghetti, but I can’t quite handle it. 400s of a second there at split one from Jess Blue. Should get the triple goes out the front door. So, that’s a very hard little section there as you roll on and jump off. 2400s of a second split three. It’s hard to maintain that momentum when it’s got a little kicker there. So, we’ve seen people over the week almost double in, try and go for the rollers. There’s a couple of BMX style wheelies over it. So, it’s a very difficult section halfway down the track. Carrying good speed through the bottom woods here. She needs to get a great exit in this last rock garden to maintain speed here. Absolutely nothing in it so far. Jess Blue. Is she going to go into the hot seat? It’s currently Sanchez, Ernest, and Ferguson the top three. She’s 9/10 of a second faster now. Blue it accelerating through sector 4. Yeah, you can see you got some great speed in that lower rock garden. really exited fast and smooth there into the final corner. Here comes Jess Blue. Are we about to see a new hot seat time from the Kiwi? Jess Blue crosses the line and goes fastest by 1.2 seconds. Dislodging Valentina is perfectly cut out for this. 120 beats per minute in the Star Hut. Remember that number. Nina Hoffman sets off at a track that she really really enjoys and has had big success at here over the years. Got a win and got a second place here and riding that confidence wave. I mean last weekend she started so calm and just rode more and more aggressive. Tina Hoffman is down in Palar and Salah and Dora just about it went wrong in the middle of the turn but it took a long time to come to a stop man considering she got out of that really well. She could have got bucked over the front going off that kicker with one foot on the bike. Yeah, she’s strong and aggressive on the bike and I think that pays off. You can get a clean run. Valentina Horn leaves a star hop in Palaron style and Dora Josh that looked like all out attack mode straight out of the trap. 144 beats per minute on the whoop blade. Yeah, round after round we see Valentina chasing that extra little bit she needs to get the victory. She wants nothing but a win. And right here, this track, these conditions, the way this course rides, she is running those UCI world champion stripes after taking them here in 2024. Likes this place. Goes well here. Hoffman crosses a line and looks to be in one piece and no big rush to get out there. Great to see she’ll live to fight another day after the mid-season break. But meanwhile, Valentino Hull setting about the top sector here in Palar S. What is the first split going to tell us? Valentino Ho is free t of a second faster now than that time of Jess blew it speed trap. And you can see how well that bike was working through that high speed cher and that’s what we talked about how that is so important that little lefthander that sets you up the whole way down through that compression. Now she’s got to feed it all the way to the bottom here. This lower section is where I expect Valley will excel. She’s got a great line in this lower woods. She’s maintaining some good speed. Nico, this is looking really good so far. 2.4 seconds now. Faster. Valentina on the tear here. Look at that. Straight back into position. Pulls the triple like nothing. Um and then almost takes a rest zone here. It’s not a place where you can gain a lot of speed. So catch your breath and then pin this bottom sector. Here we go. 180 ft per minute into the red zone. Look how high that’s jumped up now, Josh, from the start gate. Valentina Hull throwing everything but the kitchen sink at this one in Andor. Yeah, this is great to see Valley Hole charging. There’s nothing much better than watching Valley Hole rip a downhill track to pieces. She’s charging hard and extending her lead here coming into the bottom. 2.9 seconds now. Valentina Hole looks to be underneath the qualifying time set by Gracie Hamstring. Oh, get around slightly in the run. Manages to hold the tiller steady heads down towards the line out in the open for the last time to hold. Is this going to be enough to win her first race of 2025? Valentino Hall goes fastest by 2.4 seconds. And this was a real good news story from qualifying yesterday. Josh, this is great news story. You can see the emotion from Millie. She has been in it, amongst it, and against it all season battling just to make the final. So for her to go through in Q1 with such an epic time, it’s a absolute reward for the entire Access in Intense Factory Racing team and herself. A reward for all the hard work, the the crashes, the the ups, the downs, all of it. This is a great start for Millie here today. Look at sector times. Fina whole faster in one, two, three, and four. Only blew it, breaking her win streak down low. So there is time left by the UCI world champion in the final sector, but Nico explosive start out of the gate for Millie. I think she’s feeling the confidence this week. This track suits her really well. She goes for that inside line that we saw um a couple of riders do there. I think this track, you just have to ride really committed. It’s got a lot of support. You can attack it hard and that’s Milliey’s style. So she’s been building off that confidence all weekend and showed in qualifying. Yeah, that that key left is going to carry her all the way down that straightway. through some of this more gnarly section. This rock garden here and this off camber coming up. If she can maintain this pace and put that mistake behind her, she could still be in a really good position for the overall result today. Two riders to go after this woman on your screen now. Crave and Hem Street away at the top. John set down towards the third split. Yeah, this is one of the faster sections here. She’s looking really strong and if she can get this triple nicely, I think she’s going to be in a good spot. She’s made back time in that sector as well. made back two/10 of a second. Ollie Morris watching on at the bottom. Still has that camera stuck in his face. He’s going to have it a lot today. He’s got a lot of riders in the final. This is what happens when you start putting in qualifying winning performances. John set for access intense. This is good. She’s looking aggressive down here. You can see she’s riding that edge of the speed limit, the track limits. She’ll be fighting herself to make sure she continues to push. Come on, Millie. Let’s go. We got one split to go on that gearbox belt driven equipped intense cycles prototype. We saw Vali have a mistake here. So if she can ride this smooth, it could be good. Absolutely gets away with one through that rut section. Take off away from her. Here we go. Millions down towards the line as it’s going to be the title of Valentina. Mill goes second fastest by a 10 a second. You can see it this weekend. This is the most aggressive I’ve seen a ride since the first round. We got two riders Paul and Jon now inside that fastest qualifying time and inside this woman’s fastest time from yesterday. So Tanny Crave needs to go faster than she did yesterday. But we do think the track is running faster here in Palar and Salandura thanks the huge efforts of the local trail crew. Let’s get Tanny Crave across the top of it. Josh, how do you rate our chances today? Oh, I rate them very highly. Look at the speed she carries through those breaking bumps. Those are the details we’re talking about. Wow, that was an extraordinary two corners. This is looking fantastic for Tani. Slaps the outside BM there. She is fighting and she is aggressive and she wants it here today. Neatly done through that top sector. Nico, let’s get her across the split line. What’s it going to tell us? Tanny Crave. As we wait for it to appear, our screen is 8/10 of a second faster. Split one. Tony Crave can hardly watch. That’s a huge margin on this track. You can see she’s not sliding around too much. She’s keep maintaining good level of grip, but carrying really nice exit speed through all these turns. Josh, huge, huge time already. Huge time already. You can visibly see how aggressive she is and she is not waiting for this track. She is going for it. She’s attacking every single section and riding with a level of anticipation that we’ve been waiting for from Tiny Crave. A win here today would put Tiny Crave level with one of the all-time greats of this sport, Missy Giovi. She’s 1.6 seconds faster. She’s lost time, but she has time in her back pocket here. Crave, 1.6 Six is a big margin. I think if she can maintain the speed she’s on, she’s going to be in a good spot coming out of this last one. Now, there’s a big hole on that piece. So, she does get over that hole where we saw Millie get hung up a little bit. These final two rock gardens will be crucial here to that here this afternoon. But we know that John set and really extended here down low. Oh, that looked fast to me. Josh, that was a great exit into the final split. She’s pulled back some more time. Tiny Crave is accelerating here today. 310 of a second now. 3/10 of a second more in this sector. What can Tanny Crave do? Tony Crave Roar on the bottom. Here comes Tanny Crave. Are we going to see win number 11? Is this going to be enough? Tanny Crave crosses the line and goes faster by 1.8 seconds ahead of Valentino. Just when we thought we’d seen the Austrians. We are going to see her absolute best. Gracie Hemstre deep breath leaves the star hop. We know that when she gets on a race run in 2025, she’s borderline unstoppable, but Tanny Crave has set the bar extremely high today. Tonnie was really fast through the top half of this track. If Gracie can just be in touch at the midway point through the rock garden and the lower steeps, I think she can pull it up. Hemp Street kicking the back end lap. Big Norco Race Division bike out as she crosses. It goes really, really low there, Josh. Looks like it worked for her. Yeah, you can see those braking bumps getting bigger and bigger and she’s just avoiding a lot of them. Now, this section here we’ve seen be crucial. Carries a good inside line there. Almost a little bit too quick. They got a great setup under that Norco Racing Division Kent. We got the naughty uncle looking after all of the all of the races. She’s starting to feed it the whole way down here today. She makes her way across the piece. This is great from Hem Street. Currently second in the UCI Downhill World Cup overall for Gracie Hem Street. Is that going to change today if she can get past Valentina Hole? But she wants the race win. Nico, this is what all the focus all week long has been for. Yeah, she’s so fast in this bottom sector. Let’s see if she can get through this last rock garden clean. She’s 2 seconds faster now. 2 seconds of split four for Gracie Hemstream. Gracie Hemstre on an absolute run here in Palaron Saland. Here she comes down the line. He street. No, Gracie Hemstre loses the back end within sight of the finish line and goes down in Par and Dora. That is going to get the win to Danny Seagra Gracie Hry 5.2 seconds. Back home in fifth place even with a crash within sight of the line. You wouldn’t miss it for the world. No, that was incredible. The run that we saw from Millie onet coming through that final rock garden and valley hole charging. Who would have thought we’d see Valley Hole put down a run like that? Yeah, for sure. I knew like I kind of knew Gracie was going to win. She was so like so pinned at the bottom. So, I’m kind of gutted that like she crashed so close to the end. But yeah, I’m I’m happy with my performance today. on the podium. Tibo Deprella leaves the start hop in Palar and Salandor a track where he has won as an elite before. Doubles across there really nicely. You can see how aggressive he’s coming out of the start gate. Last year in the World Championships, he had the fastest two first sectors of this race. So, I expect him to be green green and if he can hold it to the finish, might be a time that lasts a long time. This is a track he specializes on, Josh. And Depa could be a threat for a big long sitting hot seat today. That’s right. He won here in 23. He does know what it takes and he knows how to manage these changing conditions. Fighting this track just a little bit. Hopefully, he can maintain this to the bottom. Look how narrow it is through the trees of those big 800 mil wide bars. Depa threading the needle beautifully as he heads back out towards the open piece section now where we saw Wilson come up with a bit of his trademark magic. Depra two seconds faster lands on the back wheel. Nico yeah little too much too much gas over that triple. Bit of whiskey throttle for team as he heads back into the woods again your heart. He’s 2 seconds up right now. So that aggression is paying off with an incredible run here this afternoon. Speeds are going up. Had to do it the hard way through Q2 yesterday. Tibo Deprella, but this is a track he loves. He feels good on. He feels he can win up. He’s 2.7 seconds faster now. Tbo Drella really smoothly through that last rock garden. This is a big margin on a short track like this. Fastest time yesterday was Max with 239.1. Tbo looks like he’s about to smash that today. Tbo Drella pedaling midair. Crosses the line. goes 3 seconds faster with a 237.4 jumps off the bike, lights it. The French national champion on fire in Andor, but it’s a good time. Here we go. Lars Fier, the UCI downhill world champion. Went it on this track just a year ago. Interesting line there. Went inside and gapped over the rock that was kicking a lot of riders. Pretty creative for a simple section. Yeah, there’s one here at UCI World Cup level as well as at UCI Worlds in the past. One of the most successful riders here on Dora. Calls this place home. Lives just up the road. Four times a second back in the first split. He’s in touch with his compatriate here and he was so close last weekend. Now he knows the speed. He knows what it takes to be up there and compete and to be here at home with Commonal at the bottom of the hill. We saw their headquarters this week. He sees he knows and he’s in touch with the people that make that brand what it is. So this is a big weekend for the entire common cell crew. About as local as it gets. Lores Verier. It’s a kudos to the brand. You don’t see many other brand owners. It’s Max Commonell. It’s Common Cell bikes. Verier is his world champion and he’s at the bottom watching him race. He’s find some time here. A tenth of a second has come back towards Loris Vier. We saw Matt Walker make up some time in this last sector as well. So we expect the same from Loris. That time is within touch. Max Galile having his hands as UCI Dino world champion. A man he tried to sign for years and years and still so happy that he’s part of that brand. Loris V. Really good exit speed around that left turn. Find a real home here at Common Salier. He’s faster now by two10 of a second. Here comes Loris Vier. Is this going to be enough to debo out of that hot seat? Verier has one corner to go. Loris Vier, the UCI Dino world champion, heads across the line of Palar and Sales fastest by 8/10 of a second uh to move back there. In the last couple of weeks, we’ve seen a big change for Martin. Yeah, you should point out, you know, in the five rounds, he’s failed to make finals three times, but when he has done a ninth and seventh place, so always inside the top 10, and he’s growing back into it, Nico, isn’t he? Yeah. I almost think the first round just suited the enduro riders well. the speeds were a bit slower with the conditions in Poland and then after that it took him a little bit to get used to the pace of a downhill race. It’s really cool to see how he’s taken that on board. He’s adapted and he’s come back these last two races and delivered really good results. Maze not scared at all through those top corners, gets himself across that big rock smoothly and that’s that trademark looping Martin May style we’re used to Josh as he’s 600 of a second faster than Lawrence Ver already. Yeah, he carries some great speed through those early corners up high. I like that jump over the rock. Gives a bit of extra speed and momentum into the next section here. This is the key part as Martin comes in with a little bit of huckerbuck side to side. Martin’s got to carry some good speed through here. Such a casual character until he grabs a set of handlebars. A little look up there. Martin Maz such a entertainer on the bike. Great to watch. What can he do at the second split as we wait for the time? Wait for the inflatable split marker to arise. Looking really, really good so far here. Dancing the line between aggression and precision. Really nicely. Good acceleration out of that corner as well, Nico. Yeah, it carried good momentum. That’s a crucial turn. Here we go. Maze half a second fast. Tony Seagra liking what he’s seeing so far. It’s good to have that gap in the first two splits. He’s going to have to carry really good momentum across this ski piece and then commit through this bottom lifts. 210 is not much margin considering how fast Loris was through this second. Martin Maz has been green the whole way down here. Is this going to finally challenge that time of Loris Fier set early in the final session Josh? Yeah, good hard exit out of that left hand. This is where Loris accelerated. Martin is carrying some great speed through the rocks. He goes low. He’s lost.1 of a second. So he’s missed out on.3 so far. Nearly 210 back. Can he make it up with one quarter to go? Here comes Martin for a FMD towards the line. Is this going to topple Versia? He goes second by only three chance of a second. We have a wrist on our hands here at Paris and Salandor final straight through Q1 learning that consistency. You got to remember he’s still just a young athlete. So, he’s still growing into that role as one of the key riders as part of that YT mob. Look at the breaking bumps getting bigger and bigger. That’s going to be key in a little bit of time to make sure that riders choose the right line to navigate their speed through there. Nico, we talked about it earlier this season, didn’t we? He’s It’s not a bad name, we mentioned in the same breath as, but he’s kind of morphing into a sort of a modern Troy Brosman slightly, isn’t he, Oshin? He is a really consistent rider. I think he he’s a guy who excels in the in the wet conditions. He’s always talking about that. Even this morning, he heard bad weather in the forecast and he was praying for rain, hoping he was going to have to take the rolloffs out. But he’s doing really good considering how dry this track is today. Half a second, a split one for Oshino Callahan. We know that there’s not a whole lot of time in that particular split, but yeah, this is where Oshene needs to accelerate. It’s coming back towards him. He’s pulled back another tenth of a second. He gets the backside of the double jump into the trees. Two ten of a second back at the third split for Oshino Callahan now as he heads into the penultimate wood section. Looking good for the young Irishman here, but he needs to turn the lights green. He’s looking really aggressive. This was a section where Lis pulled out a huge margin. Look at the exit speed. This is aggressive. He’s anticipating what’s coming, which is a good sign. He’s still within 210 of a second here. So, if he can lace this one up, really nice gap out of that rock garden. He carried good speed out of this woods. Here comes the Irishman Callahan down towards the line. What has he got for Lawrence Fier? He crosses the line and goes third fastest. If Gold Stone can get a win today, he will be he will become the first elite male to win five five races in a row. Jackson Goldstone sets out on course in an attempt to make history. He’s a hard rider to bet against, especially the way he’s riding right now. But this track today, I think he’s got his work cut out for him. This suits some of the other riders, some of his big biggest competition really well. But doesn’t mean that he’s out of the race. Josh Aaron Gwyn won five in one season, but not consecutively in 2011. How big a result would this be if Jackson Goldstone can get a win today? Oh, it’ be humongous. And it definitely And especially in the very terrain we’ve seen these performances over. It’s not just like one terrain is suited to him. It’s back to back to back to back on all different types. Right now, he’s slightly back in a section that we probably would assume Jackson would not excel. His creativity, the way he picks apart the technical sections is will all be in the second half of this track here today. He’s 4/10 of a second back at the first split. The man who’s wearing the green of the UCI World Cup overall points leader. Goldstone huge lead in that competition now thanks to four wins back to back to back to back heads towards the second split through this slightly tweaked section here in Palar and Salandora at the second round. 2025 UCI downhill world cup needs a nice little exit here to carry speed down. We know he’s not the biggest rider out there, Nico, so he might lose some time here. Let’s get him into the second split. He’s using all the track. You see him all the way on the left side over that triple where took Amry out. The whole Santa Cruz camp is close enough for getting their first ever double win last in the wheel. Look at him floating through some of these bumps. The entrance here is speed that we haven’t seen since exit. That was a great exit. This is where it counts. 910. Nice deep pink. Fch is on the bottom of Finn Isles. Get the home line. The huck across. Jackson Goldstone is feeding it. Jackson towards the final corner. Jackson Goldstone. Is it going to be a famous fight for Jackson Goldstone crosses the line and goes fastest by 810 of a second. That cycle he needs to find an answer for Jackson Goldstone. The big red S of Superman not specialized on top of his helmet. Rooney leaves the start hut and gets to work here in Palar and Salandor. Look how calm he is. He’s whooped da 120 to 130 in the start gate. This man means business. Super Brun was Superman launching this weekend. What a moment. Bike squirming around underneath him slightly through those corners. Nico. Yeah, pushing the insides of the turns trying to avoid some of those breaking holes. Just a little bit looser there, but he looks like he’s really composed. is charging here today and leveraging every single ounce of the champion that he is. Look at the speed through the key section. The speed under the drone is obvious and absolutely flying like got a win and be scubby at the start of the year. Heads down into the open crosses. No split. It’s 1.3 seconds. He’s lost attempt now. He won the first of five UCI world titles here back in 2015 beating Greg Manar and Josh Brryland that day. Here comes Lloyd Brun that the old track in Valor of course very very different to this 168 beats per minute. Jackson and Loris were very fast through this fourth sector but I think Brun has enough time to play with here and I think he can get to the finish even with that 1.3 margin. He’s got a charge. He’s got to attack the entrance into the rock garden here. 1 seconds at split four. Brun dances across the rocks heads down. The final shoot will head out into the open. Is this going to be Lloyd Brun second win the year? Lo Bruny is he going to break Jes crosses the leg and goes fastest in Palar and Salah Dora. What a run from Lloyd. Bruny back to his very very best. Apologies if you heard any language of the specialized teammate there. Vier celebrates with his best friend at the bottom. Jackson Goldstone is going to be denied a famous five in a row. But take nothing away. There we go. We saw a bit of emotion from Loro last time out in L. We see even more this week. Here’s the results then. Brun from Jackson. Goldstone by 1.2 seconds. Verier May is up in fourth position. O’ Callahan fifth. Depa cold. Penny Williams Norton 10th back in action. Yeah, it means a lot um having this season battling with Jackson and being always like have to let him be better. Uh I came here I came here with so much motivation and also a lot of redemption and big feelings from last year crashing at world champs. So I really wanted it. It was difficult cuz this track was fully flat out not much to to do like just open the gas and a lot of guys were incredibly fast and I’m so happy that I could be a bit loser or crazier than everybody. But Jackson was again on fire. So it’s really cool to beat him fair and square but uh it’s a cool season and I’m happy to to be at the top and sharing the podium with Loris is amazing too. So hell of a day. Ladies, watch the lights. High pressure, high altitude off the start line. Bit of a fumble from Jen Jackson. Gets blown up by the pack. Meanwhile, it’s a good start for Rona Blinger on the right hand side for Li Factory Racing as she swings around the right hand corner first. She’ll land the Nut off well as well, but Puck Peterson is getting swallowed up by the traffic. Ollie, yeah, I think it was Jen Jackson. Bad start. Missed the pedal, but she’s recovered really quick. But on that corner, just taking the front off Peter and she’s a bit far back at the moment. And look at this long drag up the hill at 1,900 m above sea level. Torturous start here. Empalar Sal and Pandora is a short hitting the front for the Brit. But it’s a Scots woman Isa Short who is out the front. Isa Short having an absolutely stellar start here in Andor. Jenny Ritz the Swedish national champion. A bit further short like a rocket has gone off the front of this race. She’s disappearing on the Molly and this will send alarm bells ringing in the park behind her. No one saw this coming. Tyler short seventh in Lea Gango. She nerves the climbs, likes the altitude, and career best for 14th in the short track, but there’s leading. Welcome. Struggle to adapt. Some riders just they just want a bike race. They’re not too worried. It’s real hit and miss. I empathize. Rona Bluringer leads the way ahead of Sammy Maxwell. Blurtinger goes down. No, loose the front end. And now Sammy Maxwell has been collected by that crash trying to get back in their pedals. And now Ida Short can come back into things. We have seen that righthander take down some of the biggest names over the years and pal Aaron Sal and what’s your read on how the tracks looking with a lot of rain over the last couple of evenings but looking pretty tacky to me. I mean it was so dry when we first got here and it it the dust will soak up and the trees will soak up a lot of the rain that we’ve had a bit of rain loads but you’ll just get little patches and we saw that corner hasn’t quite dried out just took out Roger Blockia up into third place and riding with some intent here. Yeah, and a winner up in in this high altitude Mandor previously. So just carry that energy forward. Broken shot. You never really see it. Peterson on her way up into six now. 11 seconds back. Look at this rock section. Oh, it’s super gnarly down here. This inside line is so difficult to get onto. And again, we had UCI cross country worlds here last season. And I remember that sector. It’s all about that entry, isn’t it? It’s you can get the bike stalled. You can sort of all of a sudden come to a halt and you’re clipped in on the pedals. You can very very easy to have a crash and there’s free lines. None of them are nice. But the inside line, which is considerably faster, is so difficult to get onto. It’s all chunky, isn’t it? There isn’t an obvious right line on it. As you said, we saw Sammy Maxwell just as he dripped in, just getting caught up. Here we go. Eie Richards going down in the rocks. Puck Peterson gets past her. Richards looks to be okay but behind them chaos reigns. Martina Berta unclips and Lana Lumpt as well. Oh wa L comp. Oh accelerated down to the floor for Lana L comp. And the issue is that the rocks here they’re they’re gnarly. They’re sharp. There’s loads of them. You know it’s not something you want to fall on. Maxwell descending really fast today. Yeah. Look at Maxwell go. Takes a high line again. Is going to come right back on. Leart wheel of Ronny Blinger and that is pressure being applied on as a rider. You’ll hear that bike behind you. Yes. 16th as well for for Mitt Ber at the moment and moving forward. Yeah. Flirtinger when she came up from the under 23 category was really head and shoulders the best descender amongst that group. But I mean if you’re in with the elites and there Sammy Maxwell has got mechanical problems. It’s a rear wheel change for the UCI Cross Country Olympic World Cup overall points leader. She picked up a puncture somewhere, Ollie. And that has forced the Rock Rider team. The chains off the front ring as well. Oh, it’s all going wrong. Meanwhile, at the front, are we about to see a change of lead? We are. Puck Peterson to the front now. This is looking ominous. P Peterson now knows she has a window here where Samara Maxwell is caught in traffic behind her. If she can get clear of Raa Bluringer, we could see P Peterson go into time trial mode going for her third UCI cross country Olympic World Cup race in a row. So you’ve got maximum amount of time to make it back up again. And getting back to 33 seconds now for Maxwell behind Peters. So that’s a pretty quick recovery so far. Peterson of Alison Kernik out there on her own at the minute. Ra Blurlinger 12 seconds behind her for live factory racing. Jenny Risfits is in third 20 seconds back off the lead of this race. So we have seen Puck do this before this season. She doesn’t need riders around her. More than happy to just get into a groove. We saw in Leia gang memorably. And meanwhile, meanwhile at the front of the race, Huck Peterson getting held up. Knocked. Oh, just getting stuck the wrong side of that tree. Uncllipped both feet. Is it a crash if you’re still holding on the bars behind her though? Samara Maxwell just loses the front wheel right at the bottom of that rock garden. And if you’re going to lose it anywhere in there, but the speed that Maxwell is coming into the top of that. Yeah. Yeah. Kella definitely on the move and super smooth. You know how consistent she is and always a fighter. But 16 seconds though on our timing screens between Puck Peterson and Raa Blurtinger who is now coming under the attention of Martina Berta and Jenny Risfitz. Berta looking like she’s going to try and get past the young Swiss rider here. Obviously Puck just having that little mistake on the descent costing about 10 seconds or so. So not a disaster, but it was more it cost her time as opposed to impact, didn’t it? It she just got stuck the wrong side of Lead. Both feet unclipped. It’s difficult to get things but I think it might have an impact this next time down. Cross country racers as they all are really, but somebody who really understands the important of aggressive descending as we head in Lorac and Peterson in trouble again. put Peterson off the bike and off the course here in Palar and Salandura. Meanwhile, behind her, Martina Berta sneaks through into the lead. Oh, and there’s drama on board that canyon of Puck Peterson and Rona Bluntinger can’t get past. What is hanging off the boards there? Is that a shifter maybe hanging off? Her bike computer just bounced out. It’s on a tether, but she was trying to put that one back on. Pierce it off the bike again. Still not right. Alleandra Keller rolls through now as well. Buffy last time had a real big wobble on that descent. And you come in this time and it’s playing on your mind and you’re tighter on the bike. There’s the computer going on. Eevee Richards meanwhile Jurro World Series fact about Martina Vera came from the one and only Enrico Bala watching at home enjoying this one. Enjoying seeing an Italian leading the race here in Andor. And after all the action, we forgot about Sami Maxwell. Sami Maxwell. Fifth place now. 21 seconds. Boyed by that short track as we move down to the tech feed zone. Kiara Taki for Lapierre Racing Unity will DNF today. Taki one Italian leaves the race as another leads it. Not quite as difficult as the section where we saw Puck crash. But this is the other really techy bit. And again, really difficult. No nice line. I think you know it’s going to be close and I think it’s maybe Alisandra Keller likes to go long. This is kind of more of like a diesel engine. I would sit back. Just as I said, I would sit as you say that. Berta attacks and just elbows her way past Aleandra Keller. And now is a little gap as they head off the bridge. Meanwhile, what about this former for a ride from Sammy Maxwell on the number one bike? A champions ride if I’ve ever seen one. But if I was in a group, well, this is one section where you what you want to lead into that rocky that difficult rocky descent. Real key part. So, what are we looking at now then in terms of how KG this is about to get. I guess it’s going to be a case of who blinks first. Maxwell off the bike and walking up that climb as is B. Oh, Maxwell bobbled off the side of the track. just couldn’t get back over the saddle which has stayed in the upright position. So beta also off that origin. Really difficult. You see the gap now just that one section. Brisb led in first. Maxwell made the mistake and that chain reaction. And who better to do it? Max K. Look at the smile on his face. Rings the bell. One to go here in Palar and Salandor at the second round the UCI cross country Olympic World Cup. Oie backs rubbing his hats in anticipation. beside me. There is going to be fireworks on this last lap. Right then, Rick, place your bets now. Oh, I’m Do you know what? I’m going to go all in on Sammy Maxwell. I think to be what she’s been through to get to this point, why not go for the win? What about you, Bettera? Berta. Whoever takes this one, it is going to be one of the rides of their career. Maxwell pulls out now, puts her nose in the wind and is moving towards the front. Jenny Ris driving the train at the minute of this climb. And it’s Samra Maxwell who now leads. She’s been down. She’s had mechanical problems, but she is no way out of contention for the win here in Palar and Salandor. And that attack has blown this group apart. Wow, what an attack. Maxwell really nicely done down through there. Jenny Risfitz takes this win. She’ll be level with the Swiss cross country legend Barbara Bl. Five career wins, but starting to stretch slightly the elastic now. And Maxwell is good on that section. She’s just closed the gap and not quite on the wheel of RZFeds. But the winner looking likely to come from this pair. Samar Max Maxwell knows now the job is simple. Stay ahead of Jenny Ris. Simple to say, hard to do. And this is a tough drag all the way up past the four cross. Backed out. Maxwell goes again. Maxwell attacks again up this climb. Now, where is Sammy Maxwell finding these reserves of horsepower? Battered, bloodied, covered in dirt. There are no words for how deep this woman has dug today. Ollie coming back two crashes. Flat tire. Four times she’s had to fight her way back to the front. But you see that the the speed the you know fastest lap of the race for Maxwell she had the legs today and the skills but even without all the luck. Sally Maxwell looks behind her. Yeah. Kella 14 seconds. Rized 20. Better closing on Rididge now. He’s going to be able to fight for the third. Here we go. The band strike up and they strike up for this woman. It’s been machineike. It’s been magnificent. It’s been Maxwell at her very very best. Sara Maxwell takes the win in Palar and Salandura. What a performance from the Kiwi from the Kapalone Fort behind her Allesandra Keller scores another podium in Andor. Jenny Risfit holds on for the third spot on the podium and take nothing away from Martina Berta. The performance of her season so far, but it’s all going to be about this woman in the headlines tomorrow. Redemption for Maxwell coming back after that flat. Great for you. Good save. Pointed out before Samara Maxwell hits the deck. Here’s confirmation of the results. Maxwell in the end by 9 seconds from Alexander Keller Risfit Coer the top five and it was Richard’s graph blurtinger Nef Peterson home in 10th. You’re trying to win a World Cup. You’ve got to attack. No one’s going to let you just have it. Um what a silly question. No. Um it was just all out. I felt strong. I just kept making silly mistakes in the downhills and I just realized I needed a bit of room for myself to take my own lines and then I I told myself it’s at altitude. If you attack up that first climb, you’re going to be out of it by the time you get to the back. Um because I learned that the hard way last year. So I waited until that that climb and man that was still still borderline too soon because rolling around the back there I was saying to Steph even just not pedaling my whole body was just screaming. You’ll see me just like drooling and I’m like riding through there and my team man just like enjoy it and I’m like I can’t like even if I just stop pedling right now I’ll be in pain. Sammy Maxwell for decapon Ford takes the win in and Pandora the sixth round of the season. Maxwell is the points are left looking like this. Samara Maxwell now leads the way as we head into the mid-season break by 445 points. Jenny Rusitz is in third behind Nicole Cooler. Alexander Keller up into fourth. Peterson in fifth. Jen Jackson. Eevee Richards. Kendis Le Met Valer. Nina Graph up into 10th. Feland Ne in 11th ahead of Tamara Vidman. Iris Dagger missing in action today. 13th then Fry, Blanc, Lac, Urban, Bomb for Chini and Blurtinger 20 21st The lights, the lights will go red and then you know what happens next. They are off and they’re off early. It’s caught a few people out. Simon Andreas and really really punchy off the line for a fox. Christopher Leven in the middle of your shot in the red jersey as they all get through their first right hander cleanly. Yeah, good start for Charlie Aldridge as well after that mechanically in the short track. Jeff the left side up in his team manager Phil Dixon in the coffee shop the other day said if it wasn’t for that mechanical Charlie horse had plenty left in the tank. We’re seeing a rider moving up on the right hand side. Who is that pushing their way all the way to the front? It’s Victor Caretski. Caretski in the white helmet, the red jersey of Specialized Factory Racing making absolutely no time at all to get to the front of the race here in Palarasal. Clemens is now back with Martan sink. Careski’s in there as well. So Victor Caretski now shuffled back into fourth place after that strong start. But Ollie, that will have been the first check on the checklist of get to the front. Get in amongst it. Another rider has got to the front. Charlie Aldridge just sitting there behind the back of Nino Sher. seventh position and these riders will be aware of Tom Pickcock and he’s coming. Josh Carson reporting in for the bottom. He spoke to Christopher Blevens before the race got underway and Bleven saying he’s riding with a bit of anger, bit of fuel in the tank. Apparently, he actually misjudged where the finish line of the short track was and got his final sprint wrong in terms of his efforts. So, here we go into this big rock section for the first time. that ride over that line over the riders left hand side that they’re all hitting really the A- line the fastest route through it but the entry super difficult Ollie and you see Dary just getting bobbled by it slightly that was a really fast exit which is why all these riders want to hit that line but the entry to get it so difficult saw a good line there by Aendetto he took the B line and then crossed over to the A what’s going to be the big agenda for the riders at the I think for someone like Luca Martan, he’s riding on a complete high. French champion last week, beating Matis Aaro in second place, winning the short track. And I think he’s now got that confidence that he can win up at least sixth place and then it’s a long descent from the top. And I think by the time he gets to the top of that long gravel, we’re calling it the wall this week, that long gravel track. I’m pretty sure we’ll see him on the back of that front group of five. Yep. used to be the the red zone climb at the back of the course where we saw Alan Hley attack Victor Caretsky the UCI World Championship last season to ultimately take that rainbow striped jersey. Haly currently in 11th place the number 10 bike for Scott Ram MTB racing. Tom Pecock charging hard to catch up with Christopher Blevens. Levens in fifth place all in red as we’re used to seeing him in 2025. Pedcock has actually broken free of that big train behind him. I say ridden across on this long climb. It’s good section for PCO this one. Yeah, we know the strength. There’s Pedcock on the left hand side. Oh, Tom Pedcock. Look at the reserves of power that man has. That is some attack up here. And I was, you know, that Tom Pickle, I’m confident that Tom Pickle could get to the front. I was predicting lap three to get to the front group. He’s done it on lap two. A really good first lap. Hock on his way to the front of this bike race. We are hearing that Gargren has crashed. Was just riding away from him a bit today. Pedcock saw the back end lap Pinterello swap about a bit underneath and managed to keep it going. But Martan now looking like he’s starting to open up a little bit of a gap. 3 seconds between him and Matisaro. One of the amazing things for Tom Pickock, we know how good he is technically, but how he can adapt and come back. He said before in the interview that this is a new bike, new equipment. He hasn’t been on it long, but in his laps during the week, so in his wrecky laps, I don’t know, five, six lap, he’s learning the bike and he’s having to, I say, become one with it again. But he can adapt and get back to this sport so quickly. Here he comes. He’s going to swallow up Matisaro here. Straight past him. Tom Pecock in a hurry. Impal you land the nef on the side. Loring her teammate Charlie Aldridge on. Look at this from Tom Pickock. Yeah, bear in mind memory up to Tom Pickock had to move up from fourth row on the grid. You know, easier said than done. You would have had to expend some energy compared to the riders had to start on the front row. So, we know he’s got the minerals to be able to do that, but you’ve still got to suck it up, recover. Oh no, Fluger into the tech feed zone with a rear flap. We saw a number of these in the elite women’s race and for a rider who loves this venue in this track that is an absolute disaster. And the natural features here there’s quite a lot of sharp rock sections and the the chance of just catching a tire and just putting a small rip in is relatively high on this surface. I think I just saw the UCI World Champions jersey of Alan Hafferly roll through in front of him. up should put Fluke just trying to find him on our screen. Sorry, excuse me. 22nd now. Matis Cesaro in third place. Charlie Aldridge in fourth. This is the battle for fifth behind them. These two welded together at the front. You can hear how hard they’re having to work. Yeah. Whipping around these laps to be doing sub 10s around here. We talked about it in the elite women’s race. Puck Peterson telling us earlier in the week that she finds that one of the toughest things about altitude is being able to mentally just process the fact that things are feeling tougher. Yeah, the numbers are still there, but it’s just a mental alarm bell that’s ringing all the time. You think this you got this long drag up through here up through up into that last loop and yeah, he’s having a good quarter pick. That’s uh that’s a proper attack. That’s a lot of what being dropped on that climb. But Luca Martan is doing his best to hang on the back wheel of Tom Pickock here. But look at Tom Pickock. Holly Beck can’t believe what he’s looking at in the boo. I mean sat there. We know the class of Pickup. We know the power. But four out of eight. He got to the front super quick, really impressive, and then just sat on the back of Martan, maybe recovered a little bit, learns a bit about the French guy, picked some lines, and then won up. It’s what the sport is all about, though. A warm down of sorts, running around shout. Yeah. And just goes to show even at the very highest of pro levels It’s pretty rare that you see Tom Bigot going down. Yeah, top row as well in the attack. Luka Martan just shaking his hand out slightly there. Maybe getting a bit of gel or something on the glove. Not looking that comfortable all of a sudden. Martan 15 seconds the gap. One minute now. Back to Aaro and Aldridge. Their lap delta is really dropping as Martan take your hat off to him. He’s hanging in there. But yeah, this will be a PB ride as well. So at some point it’s interesting to see whether Matan continues to fight. Here’s a second group. Aaro and Aldridge. 1 minute 1 second back off the leader Tom Pitcock who has detonated at the front of the race. A half a lap at best. Pitcock crosses the line and is now just 4 seconds ahead of Luca Martan. Take your hat off Luca Martan. He’s decided that he’s not going to roll over here. He’s not beaten yet. And the French national champion has all of a sudden come alive here in Palar and Salandor. Just the lap time they’re doing consistently 15 20 seconds faster than the second group and the gap just going out. Ollie, is there anything that team manager team staff can do to help push Luca Martin back towards pick? Luka Martan is into the pits. Oh, and this is disaster for the Frenchman. It’s a rear wheel change late in the day here. Lap six out of eight and Palar and Salandor. He has chased Tom Pitcock round every inch of this track and this is not what he deserves for those efforts. He’s doing an amazing race. Consistent matching the Olympic. Can’t get the axle. Goes back in. Let’s try and find a gear for him now. There he goes. Have a decent gap to the third place. I know. But what a cruel sport mountain bike racing is. Luca Martan leaves attack feed zone. He’s had to stop again. He stopped again, has he? He has. Oh, just managed to stop inside the tech zone and it’s still not right. Bikes in the wrong gear. Can’t get going. Oh, Luca Martan. Tom Hitchcock though happens to be very, very good at winning. What a machine. That’s the word, isn’t it? I don’t know. As we see the Superman logo, it’s going to take a Clark Kent spec effort from Luca Martan to close a gap of this size. I really hope Luca Martan can hang on to this second place. Yeah, so deserves it. Johnny Walker rings the bell. Fim super inuro star and you just cannot help but wonder what could have been. Keeps pushing. But I think this is sometimes round this circuit that you got to be inch perfect with your line and missing the sharp rocks and maybe you overthinking it. Luka Martan just under pressure trying to keep up with Tom Picker after that attack. And if you’ve just overexerted yourself a little bit, then that’s when you can just be a little offline. Begs the question, without that mechanical, what a race we could have been treated to. Let’s get PCO down through the rocks for the last time. Ticks it off. Little kicker on the way out of it. Yeah, he’s got a relatively easy roll now. Nothing. 35 seconds. So another 3 seconds have gone the way of Mart. But this is why you build leads in cross country ollie so you can manage last laps like this. So within 20 minutes of racing closing that gap work working working through all the other riders in what limited open sections as well. Luka Martan for Canodale Factory Racing continues to grow his fan base every time we see him get on a race bike and he’d have grown that by a few more notches today. Look at the time he’s put into Charlie Aldridge. Pretty safe in second, but it’s Aldo. Sorry, curse that one. Get a victory here at the UCI Cross Country Olympic World Cup. The perfect performance, the perfect race. Pitcock perfection in power in sit. Not a baller to him. Tom Pitcock takes his eighth UCI cross country Olympic World Cup draws level with Cadell Evans. Managed it to absolute perfection all race long. But one of the rides of the year so far from Luca Martan. We all love a fighter and this man put up one of the biggest fights of his career so far. Tom Pedcock gets a drink after a long reward. Here we go. We’re about to get two British riders onto a UCI cross country Olympic World Cup podium for the first time since 1994 in Mammoth Blakes. Charlie Aldridge finishes off of a bit of trials. Canadel factory racing. Let’s get confirmation of the results then. Tom Pitcock takes the win by just 21 seconds in the end from Luca Martan. Charlie Aldridge taking third place. and Matisaro, Luca Brido, Vidari, Sher Duba, Sink and Aendetto Printer in 11th. Looker 12th, Dario Lilo 13. Fury’s a naughty. Well, I can’t be unsatisfied, that’s for sure. Um, now it’s super nice to finally win here kind of at home in um after a few years coming here. So, uh, yeah, it’s nice. Not not an easy place to race, that’s for sure. Victorious work UCI World Series UCI Cross Country Olympic World Cup round six inor calls this place home lives up the road. There they go. Your top three. This what does the standings leads away from Vidari by 313 points. Caretski Specializ still 123. The Nazaro Punter fourth for fifth. Martan Forester sink Schwarzbar Columbo.
