MTB News: After the mud fight in Fort William, the elite of MTB downhill racing will continue in Leogang next weekend. The races of the third World Cup of the season will be streamed live on Sunday from 12.30 p.m. Christopher D. Ryan and the former European Champion and six-time Austrian State Champion Markus Pekoll will provide the German-language commentary.
The clothes are barely dry before it's time to go back to the start and fight for victory and valuable World Cup points. Venue for the third race of the UCI Downhill Mountain Bike World Cup 2019 is Leogang in Austria - and the fast downhill slope is really tough! The 2,5-kilometer "Speedster" definitely does not forgive any driving errors. Frenchman Amaury Pierron was able to triumph here last year. After his win in the Scottish Highlands last week he is the man to beat in Leogang. One challenger is Aaron Gwin, who wants to score some decent points again after his spectacular departure in Fort William. In any case, the five-time overall World Cup winner prefers the fast track in Austria: the American has been on the top of the podium four times. For the women, there is currently no way around the current overall World Cup winner, Rachel Atherton. Who can beat the Brit? The German hopes are of course with Nina Hoffmann. After her sensational third place in Fort William, the young woman from Saalfeld is capable of almost anything. Excitement is guaranteed once again.
The final races will be broadcast live on Sunday from 12.30 p.m. on Red Bull TV. The women start first, followed by the men's race at 13.45:XNUMX p.m. In addition to the English commentary, a German-language live stream is also offered. This will be commented by Christopher D. Ryan and the former European Champion and six-time Austrian State Champion Markus Pekoll.
