WC Mont Sante Anne XC: Absalon and Pendrel win

/

[ad3]

Strange day in Mont Sante Anne for the XCO races: many top athletes weren’t there, because the Olympic games are too close or some girls, like Neff and Ferrand Prevot, have been competing on the road today.

You can imagine how the men race ended, with Schurter and Kulhavy not being at the start line: an easy day at the office for Julien Absalon, that controlled the field until the 5th lap, when he opened the gas, going for the victory.

It won’t be that easy in Rio in about two weeks.
