In terms of sports, the chapter also brings us closer to the daily reality of the four bikers of the team during a weekend with ups and downs in Leogang.

• Rebecca Henderson was forced to abandon the XCO race on Sunday after an illness that prevented her from competing in the Short Track as well. A tough episode in which the Australian shows her determination even in the most difficult moments.
• Jennifer Jackson, on the other hand, managed to overcome her bad feelings on a circuit that has never been favorable to her, signing a brave and solid performance despite not achieving a great result.
• Simon Andreassen returns to compete without medical restrictions after several months of recovery from a concussion. This comeback marks a turning point in his season.
• Pierre de Froidmont signed his best performance of the season in the World Cup, fueling his ambition for the upcoming events.

True to the style of Beyond the Tapes, this chapter not only focuses on technology and performance but also on the more human and emotional side of professional MTB.
