Tom Pidcock doubled up with the cross-country victory Sunday at Crans-Montana within the WHOOP UCI MTB World Series. He completed a full minute forward of runner-up Mathias Flũckinger (Thömus Maxon).
Luca Braidot (Santa Cruz RockShox Pro Team) outsprinted XCO World Cup chief Nino Schurter (Scott-SRAM MTB Racing) for third place, the duo 2:05 behind the searing tempo set by Pidcock.
While the reigning Olympic champion within the XCO stumbled by means of his XCC race on Saturday to take a slim two-second victory, Sunday’s longer race was a gradual demonstration of energy and velocity. It was his seventh MTB World Cup victory of his profession, and a second win of the season, with the Olympic Games subsequent on his mountain bike agenda following three weeks with Ineos on the Tour de France.
