Results: Pauline Ferrand Prevot & Lars Forster Win the 2021 European XC Championships
Just a couple of weeks after the Olympic XC racing, some of the top European riders got between the tape to fight it out for the title of European Champion.
Pauline Ferrand Prevot took her first big XC win of the year as she crossed the line over a minute up on Anne Terpstra in second place and nearly two minutes ahead of third-placed Anne Tauber. In the Elite Men's racing Lars Forster only just managed to beat out Sebastian Fini Carstensen by three seconds as the whole top five are separated by six seconds.

Not sure if that had anything to do with some of the names that came out on top, but it sure was different I thought.
However, it produced quite close, tactical racing - and I think the really hot weather had an effect as well.
PF-P winning wasn't a massive surprise; multi discipline World Champion, this was probably right up her street. And Lars Forster is a former European XCO champion, as well a Swiss CX Champion - and won the first round of the EKZ CrossTour in similar weather last year.
