When to watch Van der Poel at today’s XCO World Championships, eyes also on Braidot and Schurter’s last WC race
The Dutchman will go for the World Championship quadruple, which would be a first in history
In Crans-Montana today, the XCO Mountain Bike World Championship will take place, and anticipation is sky-high for several reasons. First and foremost, today’s World Championship race will be the last of Nino Schurter’s career—at least in XCO/XCC events—for the mountain bike legend. In addition, Mathieu Van der Poel will attempt an achievement no one has ever managed before: winning the final World Championship missing from his collection, after road, gravel, and cyclocross.
Among the other favorites, besides the Dutchman who produced a great comeback in Les Gets, are Luca Braidot, runner-up in the latest World Cup race, Luca Martin, Simone Avondetto, Alan Hatherly, Mathias Flückiger, Christopher Blevins, and Victor Koretzky.
The riders will battle it out on the Swiss course today at 1:30 p.m. (Italian time).
