European Mountain Bike Championships

By Steve Medcroft

Europe held its mountain bike championships last weekend providing an opportunity for Norwegian Gunn-Rita Dahle to snap up yet another title jersey for her collection. Newly crowned Polish National Champion Maja Wzoslzowska fought to stay in contact with Dahle over the six-lap damp and muddy course in Kluisbergen, Belgium but really, can anyone beat Gunn-Rita in a championship race?

Frenchman Jean-Christoph Peraud took the men’s cross-country title. Jerseys were also awarded for juniors and for the team relay (in which 13 countries competed).
