Pauline Ferrand-Prévot retained her XCC short track cross-country world title with a comfortable victory in Glentress, Scotland at the UCI Mountain Bike World Championships. After shadowing her rainbow jersey rivals for the entire race Ferrand-Prévot made her decisive move on the last lap, surging clear on the main climb and away from the lead group of riders. With none of her rivals able to hold on to her wheel, Ferrand-Prévot crossed the line with a four-second gap ahead of Puck Pieterse with Evie Richards a further five seconds behind to round out the podium.
