UCI MTB World Cup – Short track wins for Sina Frei and Victor Koretzky at Lake Placid

As elite racing launched at the new North American venue of Lake Placid on Saturday, Sina Frei (Specialized Factory Racing) and Victor Koretzky (Specialized Factory Racing) claimed victories in the short-track cross country at the Whoop UCI Mountain Bike World Series.

Both crossed the line solo, with Frei breaking away with Jenny Rissveds in the final lap before dropping her on the final climb while Koretzky launched his winning attack away from the leading group of five as he approached the rock garden, taking victory in his newly acquired World Champion’s jersey.
