As if the racing couldn’t get any better we saw some incredible performances in the Elite Men’s race. Thomas Pidcock proved why he is the Olympic champion and possibly the future of the sport as he rode away from the likes of Nino Schurter and other top riders to take the lead on lap three and never saw any challenge for the rest of the race. Nino Schurter looked like he could make history today with a strong start but it would be second place for the Swiss rider at the end of the race. Vlad Dascalu secured another third place this year after having to pull into the pits mid-race with a broken saddle.

Word of the day in Albstadt: ”Dominance”. It was Rebecca McConnell in the Women’s and Tom Pidcock in the Men’s field who established the latter over everyone today at the UCI MTB Cross-Country World Cup race in Germany. But was this a one-off or are they really in a league of their own at the moment? We’ll get an answer to this question very soon in Nove Mesto na Morave in Czech Republic 🇨🇿.
