At the UCI MTB World Series in Leogang, Puck Pieterse and Christopher Blevins showcased their dominance in short track racing. Pieterse, fresh off her previous victory, executed a surprise attack during the race, finishing 16 seconds ahead of her competitors. Blevins demonstrated his strategy by launching an attack on the final climb, securing first place and contributing to a 1-2 finish for his team. Both athletes emphasized their focus on strategy and individual techniques in adapting to the course conditions.
"It's been good. It was a completely different short track from two weeks ago. Then it was way more cagey and ended in a sprint finish, and today it was like an XCO course, so I went for it early. Normally, after 10 minutes, riders start to get tired, so I tried to make use of that."
"I'm just taking it race by race and focusing on my process. Right now, the process is working. That was the hardest one yet. Just look at that climb. Sometimes you've got to surf it and find the little pockets to shoot through."
