2021 Rim Nordic XC #1 | Pro Men | Full Race

This was round #1 the Rim Nordic XC Series. We're doing 4 races again this year and the mass starts are back! We're no longer doing the time trial format we did last year to maintain a tactical gap between riders. This is great because wheel-to-wheel racing is so much more fun. In this race, I had good long stints of working together with Josh and Ryan. And on the final lap, I had a line of sight to Max in P6, but couldn't quite bridge the gap. I felt great though; it was my first race this year where I was fresh. As the schedule coincidentally fell on the Sunday of a recovery week in my training program. I won't publish race #2, as I'll be racing very tired on week 3 of the biggest training block of my life. But stay tuned on my channel for races #3 and #4. Hopefully, I can get good points and maybe I crack the elusive top5 of the Rim Nordic Pro XC Series? I have never climbed on that podium. 🏆 Race podium - Pro Men 1st Thomas Fuller 2nd Samuel Brehm 3rd Julien Bourdevaire 🌎 Location info Rim Nordic Bike Park, Running Springs CA, USA Race series → http://bit.ly/rimnordic Course map →   / strava   ❤️ Brands supporting my mountain biking season Team Dream → https://bit.ly/teamdreambicyclingteam Bike Improve → https://bit.ly/bikeimproveshop Nir Wheels → http://bit.ly/nirwheels Speed Evolution → https://bit.ly/speedevolution Kenda Tires → http://bit.ly/kendaboosterpro 🍩 Follow me Blog →   / thebikecomesfirst   Strava →   / strava   TikTok →   / bengoyette   Instagram →   / bengoyette1   Facebook →   / bengoyette1   👍 Subscribe I post long uncut pov videos at 60 fps #xcmtb #xco #morepeopleonbikes #xc #mountainbike
