A hectic World Cup doubleheader kept rolling right into round 2 on Saturday, less than 24-hours after finishing round 1 on Friday.
Loris Vergier and Marine Cabirou, winners of the first half of the doubleheader, had little time to celebrate before getting back out to into the woods to learn the new track.
Experience appeared to pay off over youth, as veteran riders led the standings in Saturday’s qualifying runs. Myriam Nicole led Tahnee Seagrave in elite women. Loïc Bruni led 2x junior world champ Thibault Daprela on the men’s side.
Finn Iles dodged all the trees on course to qualify seventh in elite, with Mark Wallace in 27th. Seth Sherlock qualified fifth in junior men.
World champion Reece Wilson (Trek Factory Racing)Â is still sitting out after hitting his head in Friday’s practice. After a hard crash in the rock garden during Friday’s race, Millie Johnset (Atherton Racing) did not start Saturday’s elite women qualifying round.
