May 28/11 8:37 am - World Cup Offenburg: Junior XC report, photos and results
Posted by Editoress on 05/28/11
Cross-country racing got underway today at the Offenburg World Cup with the Junior races. Jolanda Neff (Swiss National) and Jens Schuermans (Belgian National) were the women's and men's winners respectively, as each easily pulled away from their competitors to solo in to victory. The rain that has been hammering the region for the past couple of days appears to have moved on, and racers were treated to sun and blue skies, with the temperature rapidly climbing into the high 20's Celcius. The track also drying up quickly, alothough some sections in the woods are still quite slippery.
Race Note
- Belgian mountain bikers are quite worried that Schuermans - a huge young talent - is likely to be poached to cyclo-cross and/or road racing.
