Video Round Up: Andorra World Cup 2022
Vali Höll Wins in Andorra / RockShox Trek Race Team
After four weeks between Round 3 and 4, the RockShox Trek Race Team had a heavy last couple of weeks with back-to-back races in Lenzerheide, Switzerland, and Vallnord, Andorra. Vali Höll, Jamie Edmondson, and Tegan Cruz were all faced with different emotions, challenges, and outcomes during Rounds 4 and 5 of World Cup DH.
The cards dealt to the team at Lenzerheide, Switzerland is a perfect example of the unknown outcomes that come with racing. The energy shifted for the team once they arrived in Vallnord, Andorra. Vali Höll claimed her first World Cup win, alongside her teammate Tegan Cruz who secured P3 for Junior Men. The young team is continuing to push the envelope within the World Cup circuit.

Finding THE PERFECT LINE! | Sidetracked w/ Eliot Jackson in Vallnord
Fast, loose and dusty. The Vallnord Downhill Mountain Bike World Cup hit hard in Andorra last weekend. We sent Eliot Jackson trackside to unravel yet another wild DH finals and determine how the worlds best mountain bikers choose the perfect line amongst all the chaos.

Nino Schurter Finishes Third in the Andorra XCO
The 6th round of the XC WC is one of the most physically demanding. Located 2000m above sea level Vallnord in Andorra, sure puts the athletes through their paces. In this race recap, discover how SCOTT SRAM prepares for such an event, where Nino and Lars choose to sleep, eat and recover and why Julia, is at the heart of the team's success.

Racing with 25% LESS OXYGEN! | XCO Recap from Vallnord
ho can handle the heat? The UCI XCO World Cup in Vallnord delivered racing under the toughest conditions and podiums as we've never seen them before!
Gamux Factory Racing
After a great weekend in Lenzerheide, the team looked to carry the momentum into the next round in Andorra. A fresh track and unusually hot and dry conditions awaited Lino. After a good practice session on Wednesday, everything looked good for Friday‘s qualification run. Unfortunately, Lino missed the finals by a little, not fully finding his mojo.
No time for self-pity, just analysing what happened, learning from it and going hard in the US and CAN.Let’s go for a strong finish to the season!

Heated Sprint Racing at Altitude | XCC Recap from Vallnord
How to summarise a Cross-Country MTB World Cup short track race in one sentence? Our take: “20 minutes of pure power.” Vallnord proved much more than that as extreme heat and high altitude was added to the mix to make extremely difficult conditions for a Friday night sprint!
Julian Steiner - 'BIGGEST CRASH I EVER HAD / ANDORRA WC QUALI RUN'
THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR THE HELP AND SORRY FOR USING THE WORD FUC* SO MUCH. THERE WAS QUITE SOME ADRENALIN IN MY BODY
I thought lets film the quali run for some action and do a video. I got the action, not the way i wanted but here it is for you. I lost traction in my back wheel in one if the fastest sections of the track. I tried to make use of the full track and avoid some holes unfortunately I endet up loosing traction because on the side it was a bit off camper. My back wheel shot sideways and I got out of control at 50/60kmh Im still very happy I managed to avoid that tree because that could have been a lot worse
