April 18/21 20:21 pm - Otztaler Mountainbike Festival results

The Elite men's race began with the expectation of another great duel between Avancini and Schurter, but it was soon realised that it wasn't going to happen. The cold conditions were not ideal for the Brazilian, who has only been in Europe for a few weeks, and the lead was soon taken by Nino Schurter, Maxime Marotte and Mathias Fluckiger.

Nino Schurter upon realizing that Avancini was not having a good day,  tried to launch an attack shortly after the beginning of the race, but it didn't work. Fellow Swiss rider Fluckiger proved once again that he is capable of consistently staying at the top and his good form came to the fore during the race.

With Swiss riders Fluckiger, Schurter, Lars Forster, the Czech rider Ondrej Cink and Denmark's Sebastian Fini Carstensen going away it looked like any of the five could be the winner. Mathias Fluckiger pushed the pace on the last lap just enough to pull away from Schurter and Cink, and to reach the finish line with enough advantage.

Mathias Fluckiger won by just 4 seconds over Nino Schurter and 11 seconds over Ondrej Cink.

In the women's race, Dutch rider Anne Terpstra took the lead just after the start, but had to respond to a hard attack from Austrian Laura Stiger on lap 2 before she was able to take a solid lead.

At the finish, Anne Terpstra took the victory more than half a minute ahead of her country women Anne Tauber and more than 1 minute ahead of Stigger who closed out the podium.

 

Canadian riders are making their way to Europe as they prepare fot the start of the World Cup season. Emilly Johnston has been training at the UCI centre in Aigle and was top Canadian woman ahead of Haley Smith (Norco Factory).  Sean Fincham (Norco Factory Team XC) was the only Canadian man who was allowed to enter the COVID restricted field and finished 29th.
