The Italian rider on the Santa Cruz \u2013 FSA team has won his first Elite victory in an XCO World Cup, with Galfer \u201cDisc Wave\u00ae\u201d brakes and \u201cAdvanced\u201d brake pads.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a great weekend for Luca Braidot and the Santa Cruz \u2013 FSA team in the fifth round of the 2022 MTB World Cup season, which took place in Lenzerheide (Switzerland) in extremely hot conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Short Track (XCC) race on Friday, Braidot was already among the top qualifiers, finishing with a solid 5th position to secure a spot on the podium by mere seconds. In Sunday\u2019s Cross-Country (XCO) race, Luca continued to battle on in the leading group, with Nino Schurter and Mathias Fluckiger in pole position most of the time. But an accident between these two cyclists just metres from the finishing line put Luca Braidot in the lead, which he clung on to before crossing the line. This gave Luca Braidot and the Santa Cruz \u2013 FSA team their first ever Elite XCO victory with Galfer \u201cDisc Wave\u00ae\u201d DB102W brake discs and semi-metallic red \u201cAdvanced\u201d G1851 brake pads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also in this category was Maxime Marotte (Santa Cruz \u2013 FSA team) who came in 16th, together with Pierre de Froidmont (KMC-Orbea) who took 18th position and Nadir Codellani (MMR Factory Team) who finished 21st<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the overall classification of the men\u2019s Elite World Cup, Marotte holds on to fifth place, while Braidot climbs to sixth position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the women\u2019s Elite category, Italy\u2019s Martina Berta, also in the Santa Cruz \u2013 FSA team, delivered a good performance, finishing eighth in both the XCC and XCO races. Her teammate Greta Seiwald came in tenth and 22nd in these races.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And in the women\u2019s Under-23 category, Sara Cortinovis (Santa Cruz \u2013 FSA) achieved an impressive eighth position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Downhill (DH) discipline, it was bad luck for the Galfer Bike competitors, who did not have their best weekend of the season. Only Pau Menoyo (Commencal Schwalbe) managed to make it to the men\u2019s Elite final with a commendable tenth best time, but a fall in the final left him with no options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the women\u2019s Elite category, Siel Van der Velden (Commencal Vee) finished eleventh, while Sebasti\u00e1n Holguin (IJ Racing), in the men\u2019s Junior category, came tenth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next MTB World Cup event will be held in Vallnord (Andorra) from 15 to 17 July.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
