#Valais2025

And with green we are go. This is the very last race start of the championships for 2025. Victor Caretski leading here. Mistake from Vito Carets today. Indeed. Yeah. And now we see. Yeah. Defending champion. What a moment. This gives him the chance now to go back to the front. This is an Alathy way to go for a race. He gets the chance. He takes the chance and he’s just accelerating away at the moment. Four laps to go for Alan Happily here. The last time check was 1 minute 13, but this group looked to me like they’ve decided they’re racing for second. Fluginger is on the way and he’s on a charge here. Now look at this big kick coming up over the top. It is going to be Aendetto. And now we start to see this group fracture. But this is a big kick coming here. Now interesting line coming through as they section as we see Fluking good now going back in trouble. The Swiss and the Italian riders now battling it out and they are staying clear of Caretsky and Andreas. This is a huge effort. You can see him pulling on those bars. The effort going through the pedals here. This is a massive kick from Aendetto that’s being answered by Flu Kinger. And Aendetto has to be careful he doesn’t invest too much into a move that is down to failure. One error, one issue. What a little mistake. You are going to be in trouble as Flukinger goes back on the front here now. Flukinger loing these descents, loving these gambited sections. We could see all six of these come back together again. At last checkpoint, it was a 10-second gap between these two groups of three riders. It’s now down to five as Aendetti goes over the top again. And Aendetto, the moment has opened the gap here. And there is no response from the Swiss duo here. They could be fighting this out for a bronze medal. Caretsky is on the wheel of the two Swiss riders. This is the battle for the bronze medal. There are three riders. There’s one medal at stake because Aendetto well into the descent here. Alan Hadley clear at the front. He still have 1 minute 16 on the final time check. He shakes his head in disbelief. the 2025 mountain bike men’s elite across country Olympic world champion Alan Hatha of South Africa. Well, down the final shoot comes Alandto. He’s got the gap and the three riders are together and Caretskis has gone past the shuty here. He’s going for the wheel of fluking. Who’s going to have the sprint? It’s going to be an Italian silver medal here. Simone Avadetto after putting in a fantastic ride as Flu Kinger. Well, he’s leading out Caresy and he’s not going to take him in the sprint here. He’s just going to get in the way of his teammate. This is the run for the line. Aetto takes second place and he’ll be taking the silver medal. Cari makes it another podium here. He takes the bronze medal. He’s got a long way to go to equal this man if anybody ever manages to do so. Nino Sher coming in over the line. The champagne shower almost inevitable. And world champion midday is shimon Alan Hathly. Midday of our silver medalist Simony Alto and bronze medalist involves Victor Kitki. Well, a massive thank you from Nino Sh all the team, all the people who support him with him over the years, the fans at the side of the course as well as his fellow competitors and the team behind him at size.
