Brosnan, who had also qualified fastest, took the victory despite challenges from roots and rocks that spotted the course. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.santacruzbicycles.com\/en-US\/syndicate\">Santa Cruz Syndicate\u2019s<\/a> Greg Minnaar took second place with a smooth run that was just .220 seconds longer. <a href=\"http:\/\/new.ms-racing.at\/home\/team\/\">MS Mondraker  eam\u2019s<\/a> Danny Hart rounded out the podium for Maxxis in 4:08.642.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Overcoming a course which featured both arduous climbs and sharp descents, a Maxxis-sponsored rider topped the podium in men\u2019s cross country. Nino Schurter of <a href=\"https:\/\/scott-sram.com\/team\/\">Scott-SRAM Racing  eam<\/a> held a lead of nearly one minute for most of the race, winning in 1:23:28 to remain undefeated for the season. &#8220;I&#8217;m super happy,&#8221; he told cyclingnews.com. &#8220;I love this course; it&#8217;s super technical, and I really feel [at] home here. 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. Like Schurter, Dahle Flesja bested a difficult course and the challenges of a high-altitude race, where oxygen debt was a real possibility.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Maxxis congratulates  roy Brosnan and Nino Schurter, and thanks them for proving once again that champions choose Maxxis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":33508,"template":"","tags":[],"news_category":[272],"class_list":["post-33507","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","news_category-bicycle"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!--
