The Crans Montana course looks like it could be the most difficult, possibly dangerous, of the season

The XCO World Cup of Crans Montana inaugurates a new venue in the competition and the organizers have made sure to have a track ready that we have just seen and promises to generate a lot of discussion. In the video, the circuit seems so technical that the XCO World Cup organization itself has wondered if this might be the most difficult circuit of the season.

This is the course of the XCO World Cup of Crans Montana, the most challenging of the year?

We already know that the current trend in XCO is towards increasingly technical, fast, and challenging tracks, but one could think that maybe someone has gone too far with the Crans Montana track.

We have not yet seen any of the favorites ride on it or heard comments from the protagonists, but just by watching the video, you can see that this track has some of the most challenging rock gardens in the competition and artificial wooden sections that can become really slippery in case of rain. All this complemented with some artificial rock berms with a gap in the middle and some high jumps with the only escape being a hole in the middle.

As Jenny Rissveds said a few months ago, the tracks lose much of their complexity during training and by repeating the correct lines over and over again, but there is still no doubt that the one in Crans Montana will be very exciting for the fans.
