Bromont World Cup women’s XC race.
Willow Koerber was absolutely killing it on the first lap, with the fastest time and a respectable 15 second lead, even after the climb. And then it happened. A flat. Yeah, I’m pretty upset if I flat while riding my local trails, or heading up the road for some Mexican food after a lazy weekend ride. But this was a World Cup race. And she was leading! I’m sure she’s too polite to have dropped the f bomb, but I bet she was thinking it.
Anyway, she finished 7th (Lene Byberg took first) which is still quite commendable. She’s got a couple of US Cup races before heading off to Australia. Let’s hope she gets some podium time.
