It’s been a while since the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup presented by Shimano had seen so many crashes in one race. The race track in Leogang (Austria) was destroyed after training, and the riders had to find the balance between trying to win and staying on the bike.

Sabrina Jonnier (Team Maxxis-Rocky Mountain) found the right mix of caution and aggressiveness and she won the Women Elite Downhill, strengthening her lead in the World Cup ranking. Jonnier is using SHIMANO SAINT components, just like Floriane Pugin (Scott 11), Tracy Moseley (Trek World Racing) and Myriam Nicole (Commencal Superriders) who finished 3th, 4th and 5th respectively.

Jared Graves (Yeti Fox Shox Factory Race Team) proved again he is almost impossible to beat this season in the 4X. The Shimano sponsored rider also strengthened his lead in the World Cup.
