Rissveds powered away from the field to build an early lead as part of a front trio. In a nail-biting, yo-yo battle over the 7-lap, 3.8km course, it was Rissveds who reigned supreme, finally consolidating her lead in the final lap to secure an 18-second victory and her first rainbow bands.

The win caps a fantastic period of form for Rissveds who took World Championship silver in the short track race earlier this week, adding to her double XCO and XCC win at the Les Gets World Cup round in August, and the XCO and XCC European Championship titles she claimed in July.

Corvi and Rissveds CFR XC race bikes come from Canyon's Factory Racing development arm, which is designed to provide athletes with next-level ride performance and a no-compromise approach to innovation, something Rissveds, as well as Puck Pieterse at the 2024 XC World Championships, used to devastating effect when it mattered most.
