The U.S. Champion confirms her excellent start to the season with 3rd place at the XCO event in Araxa (Brazil). Savilia Blunk (Third): "I'd focused my entire start to the season on the first two stages of the World Cup. I knew I'd done a good job, but now I had to confirm it. I was under pressure, but the team did everything to ensure that we arrived in Brazil in the best possible conditions. We spent three weeks here together and everything went really well! And after two podiums in XCO, I'm so happy to have achieved my "mission"! Now it's time for a bit of rest before considering what's next.
After the first four races of the season (XCC / XCO), Savilia Blunk is 3rd in the overall World Cup standings.
