Maxxis World Cup DH athletes at the top of the charts in Andorra

Maxxis’ sponsored riders turned in a series of impressive performances at World Cup DH Vallnord, held July 6 in Andorra.

Santa Cruz Syndicate’s Loris Vergier was a close second in Men’s Elite with a run that bikehub called “absolutely electric, getting loose in the dust but remaining upright and precise.” His time was a mere .423 seconds behind the eventual winner’s. In the Women’s Elite race, SCOTT Downhill Factory’s Marine Cabirou posted a career-best Elite result and took second place.

Canyon Factory’s Troy Brosnan, who has landed in the top three at every World Cup this year, took third place in the men’s race, and Madison Saracen Factory Team’s Danny Hart rounded out the top five. Emilie Siegenthaler of Pivot Factory Racing took fourth place on the Women’s Elite podium.

 SRAM TLD Racing’s Vali Höll made her final run more than 12 seconds faster than the second-place rider in Junior Women’s, a category she has dominated this year. Her time would have put her in fourth place in Women’s Elite.
