Description
Another World Cup XC race and another victory for Nino Schurter. His choice to run the full suspension paid off with a long and grueling descent on the Windham, New York course as he edged out Julien Absalon. Marius Maasewerd was on-site to capture the pain, the sweat and the puma-guarded massages as the World Cup XC circus stormed through the Catskills.
