UCI MTB World Cup XCO 1: Dalby Forest - Women's Race
Irina Kalentieva wins MTB World Cup Dalby Forest
A damp atmosphere pervaded the Dalby World Cup venue as the elite racing got underway at 10.45show more prompt on the Sunday morning. Overnight rain was still in the air, but the course was dry and even dusty in places after a couple of weeks of wind and sun.
But the early morning chill was soon forgotten as the Elite Women's race warmed things up with American Willow Koerber and reigning world champion Irina Kalentieva dominating proceedings. Their battle stretched the field and kept a big crowd on tenterhooks well into the fourth and final lap, with Kalentieva sealing the win in the final run in to the finish.
