St Wendel - Pre Race Report

Philippe Reinaers has sent in a report on the course conditions for this weekend's cross-country World Cup in St Wendel, Germany:

"The women will do 5 laps of a 6.9 kilometre circuit. The weather conditions are dry but very cloudy. No rain is expected for the womens race. However, some women are a little afraid of some slippery sections of the course (due to rain last night). The main characteristic of the circuit is a lot of short steep climbs and descents."
