The later in the season the better we get. Windham/ New York was a good place for MS EVIL RACING. Different to the world cups in Europe the whole race atmosphere was more relaxed and last but not least we had good weather all week.

Windham is a quiet small venue, but with big potential and a lot of nice people who make the event happen. The courses seemed to be pretty good and so the DH course was not really long, but fast. The 4X course looked good too because of big rocks, big oversea containers for jumps and big doubles at the end. Unfortunately there weren’t a lot of places to pass on the track and so it was again all about the start.

Filip was the only racer of MS EVIL RACING who was racing 4X. Because of some hard sections in the course he decided to race the qualification on the DH bike. Even he had a big mistake by casing the last big double he qualified 8th, which was not the best starting position for the race. Filip did well in the first heat, but hasn’t been able to survive the 2nd one- Filip finished in 13th position.

After a 7th, a 12th a 16th and a 21st place in the DH qualifying we had a good base for the finals. As mentioned before the track was pretty fast and short and so the times were pretty close- everything was perfect for a thrilling race.

The first surprise was Lewis with an amazing run. With 6.55 sec of the lead he became 12th in the race, was the fastest junior of the day and finished up 2nd in the junior overall ranking. Brook demonstrated again his skills with his 2nd top ten result. He finished 8th just behind Steve and got 18th in the world cup overall ranking in his first elite season. Steve got 7th with 2 tenth of a second of the podium and finished 10th overall. The team got 3rd in the team ranking of the day and finished 7th overall.

Overall we had a pretty good world cup season and we are happy with the results. Now we are looking forward to the season highlight of mountain bike racing the UCI mountain bike world champion ships in Mount Saint Anne/ Canada.

Stay tuned and follow our racers on freecaster.com.

Crankworx is always one of the season highlights, especially because the racing is totally different to what we used to be from the world cup series.
The races at crankworx are quiet challenging and the competitors take it pretty serious and so it is a base for young talents to prove themselves.
Even the most races haven’t bee that successful for MS EVIL RACING, we demonstrate our team power at the last race the Canadian open.
With a 9th place of Filip, a 7th place of Brook and an amazing 2nd place of our team youngster Lewis Buchanan we had 3 riders in the top 10, which is more than a prove for being one of the best teams in the world.
