An Uphill Battle in Albstadt | Full Highlights UCI XCO 2022

► Watch the Full Replay: win.gs/Albstadt2022
The 2022 World Cup season is one that Rebecca McConnell is likely to remember for a long, long time. After taking her first-ever World Cup win in Pétropolis just last month, she’s gone on to score a perfect weekend in Albstadt. Taking the win in both the cross-country short track (XCC) and the XCO on the same weekend is something only four women have done before her.
In the men, it was Tom Pidcock who took the top spot. The British rider, who had been racing on the road just a few weeks ago, turned up to Albstadt with little mountain biking training in his legs but was immediately competitive. It must be maddening for his fellow competitors how easy it seems to be for the 22-year-old biking ace. The current Olympic cross-country champion will race Nové Město next week before returning to the road, but that’s not the end of his cross-country mountain bike journey this season. He’s targeting European and World Championships glory later in the year.

I love Tom Pidcocks, channeling his inner Greg Lemond " it never gets easier, you just go faster"💪💯🏁

[@RedBullBike]

More than machine!

[@kekhrieshuya5479]

Its insane how Tom just pulls away on those climbs

[@timjacob991]

Agreed

[@vincentalfred2073]

Pidcock riding that suntour fork amazing

[@gustavlenne715]

Pidcock is such an awesome rider

[@dweyhrauch09]

Thanks Red Bull Bike for this great content!

Tom Pidcock, a small guy, lighter body build, that means if he will pursue xco mtb he will become one of the legends, or should i say he is already a legend in the making.

[@WarMatt86]

Well my point of view is that Nino and Julien are mtb legends! They focus on mtb all their lives while Tom is a roadie who enjoyed mtb... he's good, very good but mtb sounds like a hobby for him

[@pandasgoquack4767]

my mate tells me he was a legend at my local jumps

[@theymademepickaname1248]

@@WarMatt86 just your basic Olympic gold medal winning hobbyist.

[@peterfreeman3317]

Tom is a hammer. Didn’t even look winded. I remember when Lance rode Mt Snow Nationals in ‘99, finished fourth. He looked strong but not as strong as the top dogs. Lance said that race was harder than any stage of the tour. For Tom to decide to race MTB and beat the top XC guys is insane.

The return of Tom Armstrong pidcock ????

[@josemartinez5432]

Why doesn't Rebecca McConnell have a Red Bull contract. You have other riders who have not been in the mix for several years now wearing the Red Bull Helmet and she's been so consistent. Show her the money!

[@garybrown5769]

I can describe that feeling after reaching the limit - asthma attach

[@evatuckjr9091]

Does it come with all the assemble tools needed?

Rob says „McConnell … on the form of her life“ at 3:03 in the Video. This is also true for the geniuses behind this video. If I would know there names I would name my next pet hamster family after them.

No music,please ^^

[@WarMatt86]

Why is Pidcock bike not branded?!

[@maxs4545]

Because he rides for a different team when he road races, so he has to ride an unbranded BMC

[@kekhrieshuya5479]

Its a BMC fourstroke

[@desmondyap5391]

I really can conclude that aussies do shoeys whenever they get a podium
