The Swedish racer takes her first XCO win in five seasons in a thrilling battle.

The past few years of women’s World Cup XCO racing has often resulted in a solo rider wrestling control of the race and winning after long, solo raids across the rocks, roots, and ruts in between the tape. Today’s race in Mairiporã brought out a different dynamic as riders tested each other in the first XCO contest in the lead up to the Paris Olympic Games. 
Jenny Rissveds (Team 31) kept her cool in the front group amid two American rivals, Savilia Blunk (Decathlon-Ford) and Haley Batten (Specialized). The 2016 Olympic champion positioned herself perfectly for a deadly last-lap attack on one of the steepest pitches on course that Batten’s legs just could not match.
