I had an awesome start and was at the front from the beginning. Here at altitude, it&#8217;s really important to pace your race, and when I had the gap, I was able to do my own race. It was a perfect race for me. With three World Cup wins, it is already an amazing season, and I just hope it can get better and better.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In women\u2019s cross country, Olympic medalist and  eam Merida rider Gunn-Rita Dahle Flesja took the third-place spot on the podium, finishing in 1:28:00.
