Video with the highlights of XCO in Leogang 2025, the toughest race of the season?

The XCO World Cup in Leogang 2025 (Austria) brought us back a difficult and demanding Mountain Bike race where all initial plans went out the window as soon as the traffic light turned green. Puck Pieterse gave a true lesson in mud driving to dominate her category with authority, but in the men's race, no one could imagine that the Czech Ondrej Cink would be the main protagonist.

In the men's elite category, Ondrej Cink (Cube Factory Racing) achieved a spectacular victory that returns him to the top of the world XCO. The Czech knew how to conserve energy on an increasingly broken track and signed an impeccable race. Behind him, the Swiss Mathias Flückiger (Thömus Maxon) and the young Fabio Püntener completed a very competitive podium.

In the women's race, the Dutch Puck Pieterse (Alpecin-Deceuninck) once again demonstrated her enormous talent with a dominant performance from start to finish. She was the main protagonist of the weekend, also winning the Short Track on Friday.

In addition to the individual performances, Leogang served as the stage for the first official appearance of the new Shimano XTR Di2 group, which debuted in competition with a victory thanks to Pieterse. Cink, on the other hand, triumphed even with the previous mechanical version of the XTR group, demonstrating the reliability of both generations of Shimano's flagship.
