Following five eventful and exciting days, the UCI 2020 Moutain Bike World Championships presented by Mercedes Benz came to a spectacular finish with the Downhill races last Sunday.
Limited visibility, moisture in the air and with the Cross-Country course as challenging as it has been all week, the stage was set for an epic day of World Championship XCO racing in Leogang, Austria, with three races throughout the day; the U23 Women, the Women Elite and Men Elite.

In his second World Championship race in Saalfelden Leogang, Tom Pidcock secured World Championship gold in the U23 race after winning the E-MTB title.
A foggy morning made way for a sunny afternoon. With Downhill training starting early, riders struggled to spot the right lines in the lower, new section of the Speedster, a section that would prove to be decisive during qualifications for both Juniors and Elite riders.
