Loron won in a tight battle thatâs played out many times before in Crankworx locations all over the world. In fact, Chaney Guennet has taken first on the Innsbruck Pump Track twice before (2017 and 2018) while Loron had won once (2019) before today.
On the womenâs side, some talented locals fought hard to take on a mix of top international riders. Bernard and Germanyâs Kathi Kuypers battled it out for first, with the French rider taking both rounds. Third place went to local rider Paula Zibasa, who also earns her first Crankworx podium on this challenging track.
Thrills, spills and riding bikes with friends – the spirit of Crankworx is back with a vengeance in Innsbruck, and the Austrian festival has crowned its first champions under sunny skies, surrounded by the snowy Austrian Alps.
âItâs really good to be back racing. Enjoying the mountains and riding bikes with friends,â said Adrien Loron, who took the W for the pro men in todayâs Dual Slalom Innsbruck.
On the womenâs side, the win was the continuation of a streak of strong performances. Former Downhill World Champion (2012) turned EWS racer Morgane Charre finished her Enduro season on top, with the highest points total among the women after three races. Todayâs gold was icing on the cake for her.
