The 10 bikes that made the podium at the World Cup in Albstadt

The Albstadt circuit is already a World Cup classic. Very hard uphills and not too technical downhills, made it one of the last strongholds for hardtail mountain bikes, but things are changing. Here are the 10 mountain bikes that made it to the podium, women and elite men, among which there are only 2 hardtails and there are a lot of different models and brands.
