Tempier sixth in XCO World Cup debut

Stephane Tempier took a brilliant sixth in XCO World Cup opener in Nove Mesto na Morave (Czech Republic) on Sunday, May 21st. A long third, Team #bianchi Countervail's Frenchman completed his race in 1:29:44 with a 2:09 gap from the winner Nino Schurter in 1:27:35. David Valero Serrano was runner-up (+0:26), Julien Absalon third (+1:47). Tempier's temmate Marco Aurelio Fontana finished tenth with a 2:51 gap. A mechanical problem slowed #chiarateocchi, 25th in the Women U23 race.
 
TEMPIER: "HAPPY WITH MY PERFORMANCE AND RESULT"
In the early race Tempier – as well as his teammate Fontana - was part of the large group chasing the leading duo Schurter-Valero Serrano. The Frenchman speeded-up the pace in the fourth lap, followed by countrymen Maxime Marotte and Jordan Sarrou, standing in third position also after the fifth and penultimate lap. The trio was then caught and outdistanced in the final stretch by Absalon who preceded Marotte, Sarrou and Tempier on the finish line. "I'm happy with this result in the World Cup opener, giving me the opportunity to start in the first lane next week. I was a little bit tired in the final lap, after having attacked in the previous two to prevent Absalon's comeback. Anyway, I can be satisfied with my performance", Tempier commented.
