The opening leg of the UCI Cross Country World Cup season, taking place on the 10th of March 2018 and brought to you by the organisers of the Absa Cape Epic.
Val di Sole, Italy. Another World Cup, another action-packed day of top-flight racing in both the men's and women's elite categories. @nschurter managed to make it three wins in a row while @MajaMTB claimed her first victory since 2012. Congratulations! #epicworldcup#mtbworldcup
XCO World Champion @nschurter, is back to winning ways and what better way to celebrate his back-to-back victories at Albstadt and Nové Město than watching him scythe though the Coetzenburg course of the Epic World Cup. Enjoy! #epicworldcup
How close was that? Yesterday culminated in the most amazing sprint finish for both @nschurter and @AnnikaLangvad who came out trumps in their respective races at the @mtb_nmnm. Looking forward to more intense racing, just like yesterday was, at the #epicworldcup in 2019!
The sounds of cow bells, cheering fans and thrumming freewheel hubs ricocheted off the steep slopes of the Coetzenburg course in March this year. Next year is going to be bigger, better and louder! Will you be bringing the noise in 2019?
From everyone here at the Epic World Cup, we’d like to congratulate @nschurter and @jolandaneff on their respective victories at the @WeltcupAlbstadt in Germany yesterday. Well done!

Happy with my 2nd place in today’s @epicworldcup 😀. Just a shame for my mechanical problem when I was in the lead! But we all know that MTB is a mechanical sport, and @AnnikaLangvad was really strong 👏🏻💪🏻 @canyon_bikes@WMNcycling
