The results from some wild races at Snowshoe are in. In Junior Racing, Gracey Hemstreet mastered the tough conditions and came out on top with a lead of just over three seconds. Pinkbike Racing’s Aimi Kenyon had an incredible run to cross the finish line in second place and current World Champion Izabela Yankova was third. In the juniors, it was once again Jackson Goldstone on the top step of the podium, gaining more than five seconds on Tegan Cruz. Sebastian Holguin Villa completed the top three, nine seconds back. Pinkbike Racing’s Jackson Connelly finished 22nd.
Camille Balanche backed up her top qualifying run with victory in Snowshoeas, managing to ride all week without a fall. Camille’s wild run gave her a four second lead over Myriam Nicole, who had a big mistake in the third split. Nina Hoffmann secured the top three with a deficit of six seconds.
What a race for the elite men, the track was drying but it still wasn’t easy for the final riders. After not even thinking that he would be racing this week, Amaury Pierron proved once again why he is the rider to beat this year by giving Bernard Kerr his maiden World Cup win. The fastest mountain bike vlogger still managed to claim his best results in 15 years of racing with 2nd place, just 0.4 seconds back. Andreas Kolb is another rider to join this year and finish third for another podium finish.
