The 2024 season's fifth U23 XCO World Cup saw riders take on challenging conditions as rain soaked the already tough technical challenge in Crans Montana.
Riley Amos continues a perfect XCO season in 2024 as he was unmatched in the tricky conditions. It's five wins in a row for Riley Amos as he masters the mud to come out on top in Switzerland. After a small mistake from Luca Martin, Bjorn Riley managed to ride back to second place after an incredibly tough race with crashes and mechanical.
Olivia Onesti secures her first World Cup XCO victory with an impressive performance in the mud without a dropper post. Onesti powered up the muddy climbs building her lead through the four laps to cross the line over a minute ahead of Madigan Munro. Emilly Johnston follows up on the XCC Short Track win with third place.
