FINAL LAP- MENS ELITE XCO -2022 UCI MTB World Championship

surely the gap too big now look at the speed of him on here now so aggressive and hamidah jose hamidah the former world champion telling me before the race he works with him he can sprint this climb a minute and a half is the perfect effort for him as well he did the same the number one plate leading 32 seconds is too much the nine-time world champion shutter can he make it 10 here this afternoon valero trying to stay with him and managing it he does it he still does it incredible right wow the final lap natalie impressive ride for marcel gravini hitchcock coming into sight there he is the olympic champion well we know how well he can climb he did it now dues in the tour de france a few weeks ago he gained 10 seconds back from the finish line to the first split keep an eye on this only one more really big climb nova that one again the second climber is parallel with that first yeah but that's absolutely but i think only only uh a bronze position is still the highest he can reach yeah i agree with you you never know if they slow down just a little bit but so far nino is not slowing down at all still pushing i think nino he's he's in for a tent for a tent title you do i think you do you're still not i won't believe it until i see it but yeah that's how it is but i think he looks good he looks good he knows the tactical game but valero is dangerous he's incredibly powerful he won a world cup this year for the first time yeah he's so powerful that's true he's on amazing form and he's right there on nino's wheel not an inch off it last year at the olympics it was actually valero who became that's right and nina four there you go and again valera wants to be first into the technical and he gets there i think fighting over the rocks no sure holds on to it they're gonna fight all that long i think nina likes to be in the first place in that decent technical decent can he make the difference on that descent he's gonna he's gonna try he's pushing the pressure on for little risky looking like he's just struggling to shake him on these descents as well and i would have said nino was the faster on the downhills out of these two yeah that's what i think yeah yeah yeah valero keeping him honest especially on these tight turns which will following uh quite quickly after that bridge few big jumps and then that forward section that next forward section that's a very tight turns not long to go now not long to find out who will be crowned this year's world champion now he was 32. yeah it stays small like the same yeah incredible though to see the turn of speed from him at the bottom of that climb sprinting away but i don't think he's going to manage it now to get back what's going on hard day for pit cut then change the rear wheel we think with a soft rear tyre and a small gap now yes on that deception has done a little bit of damage and this next climb might be talent because i would say the valero has to be level with him at the top of it but so strong on these climbs still looking good yes yeah but when it comes down to a sprint that's i mean it's so difficult to beat so hard to beat i think valero's got some incredibly strong horsepower and those big legs of his though yeah but you need to be in a good position yeah that's right and that's what these tactics nino has yeah the experience he has been in in this situation many times yes probably not not on a race like this and two look at the crowd they're loving it a phenomenal race here to finish off these 2022 world championships we knew they were going to be something incredible here in france and they have absolutely delivered in every discipline all weekend long unbelievable scenes here yesterday for the downhill races and these cross-country races as well today and it's not over yet sherter at the front in the gold medal position we're nearly there valero though right with him not so far back now no i was not that far off and we know that he's very fast in the last few kilometers of a race eight seconds he's still in touch with the leaders yes yes and he will give everything he has this massive crowd have been treated to a battle royal this afternoon up on the high line there's an attack it is yeah but nina also responded disappointing but they aren't racing to the top of this climb here not getting around nino a little bit more up yeah he gets steeper now oh so steep actually this last part of the climb this is a very steep exactly stick yeah a few options over here some different lines rather scary it goes out the inside now sheller is again i think she had a hold up valero's pushing valero's got the power in his legs now you know it's better to stay a bit more calm and stay behind him instead of trying and trying to to take some new lines which are almost impossible to ride and you will even lose more time or you will make mistakes if you're looking at your first golf medal yeah it must be hard to control the emotions true these are the most running these are the moments that count right ninoa nino has the experience he's hard to beat when it comes down to a situation like this calmly riding around he's very inside there takes the high difficult line out need some confidence to do that at this stage of the game one mistake and valero could be gone and now nina will push hard and do that to open the gap a little bit only just just a little bit of a gap might be enough already any breathing room he has even a couple of bike there he will do he will be covering that and then from there you see he's got a few bike left yeah that's that's the tactic look at that valero's been dropped out by nino i'm not sure if he rise back into this now there's not much trap there no and there's just a few seconds now and shadow will light up on this descent now he's not going to let valero back into this one if he can help it nino is so fast here oh he is unbelievable look at the gap he's open listen to the crowds enjoying what they're seeing with the storm from the olympic champion from thomas pitch valero and nino showing us why he's already a nine-time world champion he is unbelievable you see the smaller gap he already has here 36 years old and as motivated as he was at the start of his career there's no stopping shut up just a few slippery corners for him that's the first one can't believe what i'm seeing here today shadow still sprinting all out now to the finish line he's nearly there but he's nearly there incredible but these tactics he always has he's almost here he is almost there he's gonna see valero behind him as he comes back now around his hairpin race there of all time world cup wins the legs are there for nino last rock section oh nervous times i'm nervous what you bought an unbelievable ride but dino was stronger in the end ten times ten times the world champion it's hard to believe wow what a race we saw here in leget france today an unbelievable performance yet again from nino scherzer surely we'll never see anyone match that come on nino enjoy
