Mountain Bike World Championships 2022 – XCO U23 – Les Gets

The Mountain Bike World Championships come around once a season and are the most coveted and hard fought race of the year. To be victorious means wearing the biggest prize in cycling – the Rainbow Jersey. Win it and you become a legend and go down in cycling history for eternity. This year’s World Championships take place in Les Gets, an Alpine ski resort that’s played host to countless top-tier mountain bike competitions over the past thirty years. The French commune has even hosted the Mountain Bike World Championships once already in 2004. Riders from all over the globe will have been competing all year in national races and – for many – on the UCI World Cup circuit, accumulating UCI points to compete for the overall World Cup title.
Cross Country races are typically held on varied terrain; with a mix of roads, tracks, dirt, sand and rocks. Courses have many obstacles to negotiate – artificial and natural – and often incorporate ramps and berms, jumps, drops and short, sharp hills; not to mention nerve-racking descents! Riders have to fight gravity as well as benefit from it.Races start en masse and it’s always a drag race to the first corner. The Les Gets course is one of the most challenging on the world circuit with some gruelling climbs and several areas where the riders’ technical ability will be really put to the test.

Italy’s Giada Specia and Ronja Blochlinger of Switzerland opened a small gap on the first lap, but by the end of lap 2 Burquier was firmly in charge, and steadily increased her lead in the second half of the race to win by 43 seconds.

The men’s race was expected to be a battle between the two dominant riders on the World Cup circuit – defending champion Martin Kossman of Chile and Carter Woods of Canada. Woods fell off the pace early, while Kossman rode at the front for the first half of the race. However, the Chilean couldn’t open much of a gap and began to fade on the fourth lap, when first Avondetto, and then Mathis Azzaro (France), overtook him.
