Mels and Stirnemann Win XCE Andorra

Posted on the 25 July 2013 by Worldxcmtb @worldxcmtb

(google translate)Today first day of competition in Andorra with XCE Eliminator. The track was entirely dirt road with a series of bumps that anticipated a nice single track in the woods.
In the men's race (final) there was: Fabrice Mels (Belgian champion), Titouan Fanier Perrin (French champion), Simon Gegenheimer (German sample) and Catriel Soto (Wild Wolf). The Belgian Mels led the trial from beginning to end with an impeccable driving in the woods (apart from a smear). On the final climb and no one is able to recover wins Catriel Soto and Perrin.
In the women's race came in the final two Swiss women (Kathrin Stirnemann, Jolanda Neff) and two Swedies (Alexandra Engen and Jenny Rissveds). Jolanda Neff and Jenny Rissveds departed rocket (proving to be the most explosive athletes on the world), but in the final stretch was part of the Stirnemann who then exceeded in the home straight to arrival. The Neff declined as the third Rissveds concludes becoming overcome by Alexandra Engen (Ghost).
