Christoph Sauser (SUI) and Annika Langvad (DEN) were crowned World Champions at the UCI Mountain Bike Marathon World Championships in Montello, Italy, on Sunday, 26th June.
In front of huge crowds, Sauser, already Marathon World Champion in 2007 and Olympic cross-country World Champion in 2008, once again claimed the rainbow jersey. He covered the 115.7 km in 4:24:48, finishing 3m10 in front of Jaroslav Kulhavy (CZE). Last year's silver medallist, Mirko Celestino (ITA), took the bronze medal.
In the Elite Women's race, the podium was made up of the same three athletes as last year but in a different order. Surprising more than a few, last year's bronze medallist Annika Langvad, became the new World Champion, covering the 98.3km in 4:20:33. Germany's Sabine Spitz took silver for the second year running while the 2010 World Champion Esther Süss (SUI) finished third.
The 2011 UCI Mountain Bike Marathon World Championships were raced in hot, sunny conditions, drawing a large crowd of enthusiastic spectators. Following the tradition, two popular races and children's events were organised on Saturday with more than 2'000 athletes participating in Montello throughout the weekend.
