Last weekend’s Leogang - IXS European Cup Round 2 2009 also doubled as the Austrian National Champs, so Austrian rider Anita Molcik will have been stoked to take the win. She stomped out a super fast race run in the changing conditions to beat 2008’s Leogang European Cup round winner and fellow Austrian Petra Bernhard in second, with Swiss rider Emilie Siegenthaler in third. Emilie still holds the series lead, and the next round is 15-16 August in Châtel, France.
Check out this video from MTB-news.de, with some shots of the long track a short interview with Anita after the race, and some bonus footage of big jumps at 26Trix:
