Video with the race highlights of the XCO World Cup in Val di Sole 2024

The Val di Sole 2024 race will go down in history as the race where Nino Schurter once again rose to the occasion. The world's best XCO cyclist claimed his 36th victory when the odds were once again not in his favor.

In the women's race, current world champion Pauline Ferrand-Prevot dispelled any doubts after Dutch rider Puck Pieterse won the Short Track sprint on Friday. The French rider proved she is still the top favorite and will head to the Olympics in top form.

In the men's race, Nino Schurter silenced all praise and accolades that could be thrown his way. At 38 years old and having won everything in the sport, he showed an ambition and drive worthy of the most impulsive young rider. Schurter continues to build on his legacy and it seems like it will take several generations before anyone can challenge his current record of 36 victories in the World Cup.
