UCI MTB World Cup - HOUFFALIZE

The UCI Mountain Bike World Cup presented by Shimano saw a whole heap of new faces grace the podium in almost every category at Houffalize, Belgium, for round two of the cross-country series and the opening round of the 4X competition.

Jose Antonio Hermida (Multivan Merida) came from behind to take victory and don the World Cup leader's jersey in the men’s cross-country, while Eva Lechner (Colnago Arreghini Sudtirol) became the first Italian woman to win a World Cup race since Annabella Stropparo in 2002. Speaking after the race, Lechner explained how much the win meant to her, "Mentally, I had a problem last week which held me back," Lechner explained. "But I was able to 'reset' myself during this week, and I came into this race at the top both mentally and physically. This win is incredible, maybe the biggest I have ever had."

It was another first for American Willow Koerber (Subaru-Gary Fisher) who became the first American since the great Alison Dunlap to claim the World Cup leader's jersey (also in 2002).

In the 4-cross competition, Czech rider Jana Horakova took the second victory of her career to win the women's race and take the World Cup lead. It was only in the men's 4-cross that a familiar face graced the top step of the podium: World Champion and World Cup defending champion Jared Graves (Yeti Fox Shox).   Watch all the interviews and replays from the weekend right here
