Sunday was the 2014 UCI Mountain Bike Marathon World Championships in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa.
Jaroslav Kulhavy (Czech Republic) and Annika Langvad (Denmark) took the titles. The XCM World Championship title is Kulhavy’s first and rounds out his trophy case nicely along with a 2012 Olympic Gold medal and a 2011 World Championship Gold Medal. I imagine it’s also a great way to salvage a season that up to now had been a struggle to comeback from a pre-season injury.
For Langvad however, this is her second UCI XCM title. Such a Danish bad ass.
There is an excellent recap from XCM Worlds over on flowmountainbike.com, worth checking out for sure.
