The 2019 Mountain Bike World Cup concluded on Sunday with the seventh and final round of the cross-country, held at Snowshoe, West Virginia. World champion Nino Schurter (Scott SRAM) had already mathematically won the title, in the absence of second-placed Mathieu van der Poel (Corendon-Circus), who is preparing for the Road world championships. He finished second on the day to young teammate and countryman Lars Forster.

Avancini's pace split the group, with only Schurter able to go with him. On the sixth lap (of nine), Schurter suffered a flat, but was able to get a quick wheel change and was able to join the chase group. The group then chased down Avancini, led by Forster, with eight still in contention. At the start of the final lap, Manuel Fumic (Cannondale Factory) attacked, but crashed in a corner, allowing Schurter and Forster to get a gap, which Forster extended with Schurter on his wheel. In the final rock garden, Forster attacked again, to solo in for his first World Cup victory.
