XC #4, Champery, Switzerland (World Cup)

MTB World Cup Cross Country #4 Champéry, Switzerland, (World Cup)

A very tough 4.3 km short circuit in the Swiss Alps dished out a tough fight for the gals. If you didn't get a good hole shot it was next to impossible to pass in the mud, roots and single track that had many running.

Willow Koerber, well known for her mtb handling skills takes 3rd!
