MTB – XCC – World Cup 2024 – 2 – – Araxá, Brazil 🇧🇷
As the name suggests, these races take place on shorter versions of the XCO tracks, and are usually around 20 minutes in length. It’ll have fewer big features than the main XCO course, and is an all-out race from start to finish. The XCC kicks off the weekend of racing, taking place on the Friday evening. Short track was initially introduced to the World Cup series in 2018, when it was used to determine the start grid for the XCO race, and fed into the overall points. From 2022, the short track still determines Sunday’s start and there are points available for the XCO overall, but it also has its own overall competition.
Koretzky crossed the line with a solo win three seconds ahead of runner-up Christopher Blevins (Specialized) and an additional second on third-placed Alan Hatherly (Cannondale) in what was a close battle for the victory.
In the men’s overall rankings, Koretzky moved into the lead with 400 points, ahead of Sam Gaze, who slid to second with 360, while Luca Schwarzbauer is third with 340.
