The last XCO tune-up before the 2019 Mountain Bike World Championships took place on Sunday in Lenzerheide, Switzerland. Pauline Ferrand-Prevot (Canyon Factory Downhill Team) and Mathieu van der Poel (Corendon – Circus) entered the race with the top call-ups after winning Friday’s Short Track races.
A quick look at results is below.
Elite Women
Last weekend, Sweden’s Jenny Rissveds (Team 31), the 2016 Olympic Champion, had a big result, finishing third in Val di Sole behind Ferrand-Prevot and Jolanda Neff (Trek Factory Racing XC) and marking a strong comeback from a year off of racing.
On Sunday, she continued her impressive return with a win. Anne Terpstra (Ghost Factory Racing) took second and Ferrand-Prevot third.
Catharine Pendrel (Clif Pro Team) finished 5th, Kate Courtney (Scott – SRAM MTB Team) 7th, Neff 8th, Chloe Woodruff (Stan’s – Pivot Pro Team) 9th, Eva Lechner 21st, Annemarie Worst 37th and Jenn Jackson (AWI Racing) 38th.
Neff leads Courtney by 73 points in the World Cup overall, with the last race taking place the weekend after Worlds in Snoeshoe, West Virginia.
Full XCO results are below.
Elite Men
After his strong Spring Classics campaign, Van der Poel announced he will be racing the Road World Championships in September, making Sunday’s race in Lenzerheide his last major mountain bike race of the season.
It proved to be a fitting end to his campaign as he stayed perfect in the final two-race block of the season with the XCO win. Nino Schurter (Scott – SRAM MTB Team) finished second and Mathias Flueckiger (Thomus RN Swiss Bike Team) third. Peter Disera (Norco Factory Team) finished 40th.
Next up Van der Poel is the Arctic Race of Norway August 15-18 and then the Tour of Yorkshire September 7-14 before he races Road Worlds on September 29.
