Offenburg XC World Cup: Men's UPDATES

222 men are registered for the start of today\'s men\'s race, so with just one start loop and before the 7 full laps it should be an \"interesting\" start.

The sun is shining and it is dry and hot!

Through the start loop and they seem to have gotten 1/2 way around with NO CRASHES and Florian Vogel    (Scott-Swisspower Mtb-Racing) takes the lead.

As they head out for the first lap, Julien Absalon    (Orbea) has the front spot, followed by Lukas Flückiger    (Trek World Racing) and Vogel.  Geoff Kabush    (Team Maxxis-Rocky Mountain Bicycles) sitting mid 20\'s.  It took over 1 minute for the entire bunch to pass by the finishline to head out.
