 Posted: Mon 5th May 8:30am Post subject: Kashi Leuchs 6th At World Cup Xc #3! |
  |
|
Another sensational ride by Kashi Leuchs at the World Cup #3 in Madrid, Spain. Kashi finished in 6th place, 1:12 min behind Julian Absalon, 2nd Jose Antonio Hermida, 3rd Jean Christoph Peraud. Kaytee Boyd (NZ) DNFed, one lap down - I'm sure we'll hear an update shortly on what happened 
The World Cup takes a couple weeks off for cross country riders before reconvening in Andorra for round four on May 31 - June 1. In the meantime, the opening round of the Gravity World Cup will take place May 10-11 in Maribor, Slovenia.

That decision to save herself last week paid off! Kalentiava didn't race?... no KT either, doesn't sound good...
