The World Cup was back in Vallnord, Andorra with some of the driest conditions riders have ever seen in Europe. Downhill racers were treated to an exciting new track, while cross country athletes geared up for some of the most intense racing of the year, and the overall standings got tighter and tighter. Who emerged victorious? Let’s find out.
On Saturday, the action continued with the Downhill race on the new course. Gracey Hemstreet (Norco Factory Team) placed second in Junior Women, while Jordan Williams (Madison Saracen), Tegan Cruz (Rockshox Trek Race Team), and Bodhi Kuhn (Trek Bikes) captured second through fourth places in Junior Men. Jackson Goldstone (Santa Cruz Syndicate) proved once again that he’s on a different level by not only taking the win in Junior Men, but laying down a time that would’ve earned him the win in Elite Men as well.
That’s it for another amazing round of the 2022 World Cup! Next up, Snowshoe in the USA starting July 29 – we cannot wait!
