The Swiss Nino Schurter won the cross-country world title for the tenth time at the 2022 Mountain Bike World Championships on Sunday August 28 in Les Gets (Haute-Savoie). Schurter, 36, beat Spaniard David Valero Serrano, 2nd at 9 sec, and Italian Luca Braidot, 3rd at 29 sec. ” I wanted to toughen up the race. It was hard to always stay ahead. I made small mistakes but it went away. I got up quickly after my fall. I had experienced my first title in 2004 here. That’s wonderful. It’s always an honor to be world champion. The atmosphere was amazing “, declared Nino Schurter at the microphone of the channel l’Équipe. The Briton Tom Pidcock, crowned European champion in mid-August and big favorite of this World Cup, finished at the foot of the podium, more than a minute behind Schurter. The best Frenchman, Jordan Sarrou, ranked 6th.
