The Snow Epic has already started in Engelberg, Switzerland. And yesterday, we had a small gallery of the racing. Big names from the mountain bike world are racing, including Esther Süss and even Bart Brentjens.
Esther Süss from Switzerland, a two time Absa Cape Epic winner, took home first place in the women’s race with a time of 1:16.50. Alba Wunderlin (CH) and Amber Stull (USA) finished in 2nd and 3rd respectively. The men’s race was won by Tomi Misser from Spain with a time of 1:05.29 ahead of Olympic gold medallist Bart Brentjens and reigning Masters cross country world champion Rune Hoydahl.
Here’s a highlights video from day one.
