Tom Pidcock doubled up with the cross-country victory Sunday at Crans-Montana in the WHOOP UCI MTB World Series. He finished a full minute ahead of runner-up Mathias Flückinger (Thömus Maxon).
Luca Braidot (Santa Cruz RockShox Pro Team) outsprinted XCO World Cup leader Nino Schurter (Scott-SRAM MTB Racing) for third place, the duo 2:05 behind the searing pace set by Pidcock.
While the reigning Olympic champion in the XCO stumbled through his XCC race on Saturday to take a narrow two-second victory, Sunday's longer race was a steady demonstration of power and speed.
It was his seventh MTB World Cup victory of his career, and a second win of the season, with the Olympic Games next on his mountain bike agenda following three weeks with Ineos at the Tour de France.
