It took a while but the rain finally came down on a MTB World Cup in 2022. Snowshoe West Virginia knocked the level of challenge up a few notches and plenty of rocks and roots became lubricated by the downpour and the great slip ‘n slide ensued. It was legendary to see Minnaar get a podium (his 84th) on his 150th World Cup race start. Tough one for Alan Hatherly with a lot of crashing this weekend but he’s still strong in 1st and 3rd on the XCC and XCO overalls respectively. Highlights below!
