'Sunday is all about celebration' – Nino Schurter bids farewell as Alessandra Keller and Alan Hatherly claim Lenzerheide Mountain Bike World Series XCO wins

A farewell for Nino Schurter at Lenzerheide.

It was a home win for Alessandra Keller (Thömus Maxon) in the cross-country (XCO) at the Whoop UCI Mountain Bike World Series in Lenzerheide while world champion Alan Hatherly (Giant Factory Off-Road Team – XC) claimed the men's World Cup race. Still, the star of the show was the rider who came over the line in 24th place, a retiring Nino Schurter (Scott-SRAM MTB Racing Team).

The Swiss rider with Olympic gold, nine UCI World Cup overall titles, ten UCI World Championship wins and 36 World Cup race victories had announced last month that he would say his goodbye to the sport before the end of the season, giving his Swiss fans a chance to bid farewell on home soil.
