These XCO Finish Sprints Made MTB History! | UCI Mountain Bike World Cup

Sometimes a Cross-Country Mountain Bike race gets decided at the very start, sometimes the winner is known halfway through & sometimes the race becomes an all-out sprint till the finish line. Thrilling battles that rarely end more than a bike length apart cause so much excitement they sometimes find their way into the history books, our in this case - a KZbin video.

Where is Avancini's victory in nove mesto?

[@PhilAndersonOutside]

I with a lot of these old races were still available to watch. If not the whole thing at least the last lap or two.

[@fitty77]

I'll be honest, these aren't historical sprints with out RW hype

I watched Yowamushi pedal which is an anime, i was so excited to do the sprints i watched in that anime so i started practicing when i was 9 i borrowed my cousins mtb in our province, and then when i was 10 i stopped practicing because of school my dad hasnt bought A bike for me yet that year. 11yo my dad finally bought for me he also bought me a helmet on my birthday 😭 and two months ago i continued practicing and this month i got it i could sprint like a free bird but not the actuall sprint. I forgot that my cousins could hehe we dont wobble our bikes cuz we tried to be careful.

[@embihsuhendi5141]

The majority of tires used are 29er or 27.5??

Around 9:36 why the #4 rider slap hip body of the 26 rider?

[@isaacgomez3278]

Where is Gerardo Ulloa's winning?

[@DeezNuts-ik6xl]

Evie Richards played dirty

[@tomw0815]

No she didn't, that's competative cycling. Evie did not force her into the barrier. Pauline had enough space, she just wasn't fast enough or was too scared.

[@radiocontrolled9181]

​@@tomw0815 She should've kept her line and not go towards the barrier. Competitive cycling doesn't allow blocking your opponents while sprinting. If you're the fastest you don't need to do that.

Neff drooping all her speed on the first sprint seemed like a bad idea. Even with the slip and higher watts she would have had no chance of coming back

[@lourencejohnr.macawile2049]

May I ask, what sizes of bikes they are using here... is it 27.5 or 29? Thank you for those who will answer 🥰

[@whodafakru7668]

29 is the most common size in XC race bro

Lo bro not bad🙄

Ulloa's not included 🤔🤔🤔

[@larrylague1359]

I can feel the legs after the race. Whats the secret guys.

[@kondzio5841]

3:10 How he hasn't fallen down?

[@mqtaidmqtaid]

I have a question, and it's about helmets. Why don't they use "integral" or "off-road"? I say this because, after all, in the mountains they can have a bad fall and hit their jaw or break their nose if they go head-on... I understand that the normal cycling helmet is aerodynamic, but considering that it is mtb, Wouldn't the others be safer?

[@emre2na]

Hope I can

[@Red-ju4mi]

I don't understand why 2nd wheel would wait and not try to take the lead. Unless the plan is to draft to the finish???
