In a fitting finale for the Whoop UCI Mountain Bike World Series, ,the rainbow jersey-clad Alan Hatherly (Cannondale Factory Racing) delivered a dominant performance in the elite men's cross-country Olympic race on Sunday to claim both victory on the day and the overall series win.
Hatherly was already leading the series heading into the technical Canadian race at Mont-Sainte-Anne. Just one rider who could pose a threat overall, the in-form Victor Koretzky (Specialized Factory Racing), and only if the French rider won and Hatherly slipped well into the back half of the field. The South African, however, had little intention of letting either scenario come to pass.
