The fourth XC World Cup of the year is now underway in Les Gets, stay tuned for live results and updates.
For the Les Gets World Cup this year, the course has seen some big changes with plenty of fresh tech sections to make things far more challenging for the riders. Just like the DH, the weather has not been favorable to the riders and it is a mudbath for race day. In the U23 racing, there was plenty of carnage, but Mona Mitterwallner and Simone Avondetto mastered the mud to take the top steps of the podium in their categories.
The Elite Women faced some very tough conditions in Les Gets with persistent rain and sticky mud. Loana Lecomte once again dominated the race with the lead from the early laps to the finish line. Jenny Rissveds managed to secure a second-place finish after a big crash at the start of the race and some trouble with the loose conditions. Evie Richards was a rider looking very confident on the tricky course, attacking on the descents and pushing hard for a third-place result. World Champion Pauline Ferrand Prevot once again didn't have an answer for Loana Lecomte, but with her eyes are set on the Olympics, we will have to see if her strategy pays off in Tokyo later this month.
Live timing is available here.
