As more rain continued to hammer parts of Europe, cross-country marathon World Champion Mona Mitterwallner (Cannondale Factory Racing) claimed her first elite cross-country Olympic World Cup victory in one of the toughest XCO World Cups of the season.
The 21-year-old battled the mud, the cold and the altitude to win with a 34-second advantage to Friday’s XCC winner Alessandra Keller (Thömus Maxon) who took second. World Champion Pauline Ferrand-Prévot (Ineos Grenadiers), on her hard-tail bike, crossed the line a further 56 seconds back for third place.
