[Video] What it’s like to race XC

Today we followed the first race of the Proffix Swiss Bike Cup, the Swiss XC series, at Monte Tamaro. Even with Swiss MTB icon Nino Schurter missing, some strong athletes where at the start line, like Julien Absalon and Mathias Flükinger. The technical track took its tribute, and we filmed (raw…) the key points, trying to give you a feeling on how hard it is to keep the concentration needed when dropping in a steep trail or climbing a muddy and steep hill.

The race has been won by Titouan Carod, BMC Racing team.
