Chatel iXS Downhill Cup - Žiga 17th, two top 10 overalls for Unior!

Sunday, 18 September 2011 21:24
While Slovenia was enjoying the last summer days this weekend, Chatel was covered with snow in the start today. Cold and muddy conditions made the course rough and technical. Most of the iXS regular racers were there, so Žiga's 17th place was pretty solid. Overall he finished on 10th position, which is an amazing result, especially for the level that iXS cup reached this year, having many regular World Cup riders racing.
We've mentioned already that Nejc missed the race, which was his and team's decision. He had a fantastic season, missing most of his lectures and exams, so he stayed at home and prepared for the upcoming exams at his college. He lost some overall places and still managed to hold 7th overall position in the iXS European Cup. Great season for Unior Tools Team at the iXS Cup, we'll be there next year, going for the podiums again!

UCI MTB World Cup has finished and again with another great result for our team. Today’s fastest was Nejc with 45th place, which is his new personal best. “I was not completely calm before my final run, but as soon as went out of the gate I was having fun and I rode like that all the way down to the finish line. Course was hard, but I like technical tracks and I did everything as planed. I almost started to enjoy in all that dust, if felt like muddy conditions,” said Nejc after the race. “This is great motivation boost before the World Championships!”
