Mountain Bike World Championships 2020 DHI ladies – Leogang
The 2020 UCI Mountain Bike World Championships was held in Leogang, Austria, from 5–11 October 2020. This was the 31th edition of the most prestigious mountain bike event on the calendar, held annually since 1990
The Elite women suffered through the peanut butter mud in the woods. At times, there were three downed riders in a single section, trying to get back to their bikes as they fumbled in the greasy mud. Myriam Nicole put down the first “real” run and still went OTB once with two dead stops in the process. Tahnee Seagrave was on a quick run, taking the gnarly, inside line to drop in the woods only to crash and tumble down the hillside. It took her a full minute to get back to her bike in the ice-rink-like conditions, dashing any medal hopes.
Camille Balanche, the first women to finish a top-to-bottom run without a crash, took the leading time from Myriam Nicole with just Marine Cabirou and Tracey Hannah to go. Marine Cabirou was looking hopeful, despite a horrendous crash in the stump section. In the woods mud gooped up in her fender locked her front wheel, causing crashes and time loss in the steep woods. Elenora Farina suffered this same fate of a mud-locked front wheel. Tracey Hannah was close keeping it clean until the woods also took her down and out. Staying upright was the key to winning the women’s Elite race today and Camille Balanche earned a gold medal by remaining conservative with a 3-second victory. She is the first Swiss rider to win a World Championship Downhill. Props to #USDH Anna Newkirk for just finishing this disaster zone of a course!
