Pauline Ferrand-Prevot (Ineos Grenadiers) used a last-lap pass of Puck Pieterse (Alpecin-Deceuninck) to win the women’s short track race at World Cup Leogang, Austria. Jordan Sarrou (Team BMC) held off Luca Schwarzbauer (Canyon CLLLCTV) to win the men’s short track title on Friday.

The 1.2km course was unpredictable at the start for XCC races as heavy rains had fallen throughout the afternoon at Leogang-Salzburgerland. The World Cup cross-country Olympic races follow on Sunday.
