Tom Pidcock (Ineos Grenadiers) and Puck Pieterse (Alpecin-Deceuninck) won the elite short track cross-country races at the WHOOP UCI MTB World Series round at Crans-Montana, Switzerland on Saturday.

Pidcock overcame early-race miscues and powered to an incredible come-from-behind victory in the men’s race. German Julian Schelb (Stop&Go Marderabwehr MTB Team) closed quickly for second place, surging to within two seconds of Pidcock at the line.
