Results: 2019 UCI XCO World Cup Albstadt

The 2019 UCI XCO World Cup series kicked off on Sunday in Albstadt, Germany.

Like last year, this year’s series is likely of-interest for fans of both cyclocross and American cycling thanks to several storylines that were front and center on Sunday.

In September, American Kate Courtney (Scott – SRAM MTB Racing) won America’s first XCO World Championship since 2001 when she won the Elite Women’s race in Lenzerheide.

Courtney is expected to be challenged by a number of riders this year, including 2019 GP Sven Nys winner Jolanda Neff (Trek Factory Racing) and Annika Langvad (Specialized), who dabbled in some cyclocross in 2017.

On the Men’s side, Mathieu van der Poel (Corendon – Circus), need we say more at this point?

After an impressive run through the spring classics, Van der Poel returns to mountain biking where he looks to improve on his third at 2018 XCO Worlds and second in the UCI XCO World Cup overall.

Elite Women

Although she has been busy racing in the U.S., Sunday’s race in Albstadt was Courtney’s first World Cup wearing the rainbow stripes. With the rain holding off during the Elite Women’s race, the rainbows sparkled, with Courtney taking her first-career World Cup win.

Neff finished second and Yana Belomina (CST-Sandd-Bafang MTB Racing Team) took third.

American Chloe Woodruff (Stan’s – Pivot Pro Team) had an impressive ride, finishing sixth. Elisabeth Brandau (Radon Bikes) finished 7th, Catharine Pendrel (Clif Pro Team) 12th, Eva Lechner (Creafin-TUV-Sud) 21st, Jenn Jackson (AWI Racing) 31st, Chiara Teocchi (Bianchi MTB Team) 34th. Pauline Ferrand-Prevot (Canyon – SRAM) 42nd, Nadja Heigl (KTM DAMA Alchemist XCM Racing Team KASK) 48th, Ellen Noble (Trek Factory Racing) 63rd and Langvad was a DNF.

Ceylin del Carmen Alvarado (Corendon – Circus) finished 37th in the U23 Women’s race.

Full results for the Elite race are below.

Elite Men

Last season, four-time defending World Champion Schurter won four of the seven World Cups and finished on the podium in two others. On Sunday, Schurter had an “off” day, fading late in the race to finish sixth.

Mathias Flueckiger (Thömus-RN Racing Team) took advantage of the opportunity, taking the win in conditions that turned wet and muddy. Van der Poel used a strong last lap to take second, and Jordan Sarrou (Absolute-Absalon) rounded out the podium in third.

2018 British Cyclocross national champion Grant Ferguson (Pedal Heaven) finished 52nd, Raphael Gagne (OMX Pro Bike Team) 72nd and Marc Andre Fortier (Pivot Cycles – OTE) 97th.

Christopher Blevins (Specialized Racing) finished 37th in the U23 Men’s race.

Full results for the Elite race are below.
