It would be a mistake not to consider Nino Schurter as a favorite in any race he participates in. At 38 years old, the times when he won everything may not return, but he is still one of the best on the grid and has the ability to win if the race goes well for him. It wasn't the case at the World Championships in Andorra.

Nino Schurter reflects on his career after finishing 13th in the XCO World Championship in Andorra

For the 10-time world champion, it is not easy to finish a race off the podium, but Nino Schurter knows how to analyze situations well and has shared a reflection on his 13th position at the World Championships in Andorra on his social media.

It's not the position I expected. P13 at the Andorra World Championships. I probably didn't realize that I had exceeded in my Olympic preparation. Chasing the dream of another medal, I may have gone too far. It's a very fine line to balance. Since Paris, I was waiting for the good feelings to return without giving myself the rest I probably needed.

Many thanks to the Swiss cycling team for giving me the best support on this journey; I really would have liked to reward it with something shining. And congratulations to Alan Hatherly. Those stripes look good on you.

This statement comes amid numerous rumors pointing to a possible retirement of the Swiss rider, but the truth is that his performance is still at the top of the grid and these words sound more like those of someone who is willing to improve his preparation once again for what is to come.
