BELLWALD, VALAIS, Switzerland, July 15,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- 30-Year-Old
from Morisset Park, Australia, Returns to Winning Form with a
Dominant Victory at Swiss Racetrack
Finally back on top! Monster Energy congratulates Enduro racer
Jack Moir on taking first place in
the WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike Enduro World Cup at Aletsch Arena in
Bellwald, Valais, Switzerland. In
the Elite Men's division final, the 30-year-old from Morisset Park,
Australia, earned a dominant
victory, leading by more than 14 seconds ahead of the next
competitor.
From July 12-14, the Aletsch Arena
racetrack in the Swiss mountains hosted its very first UCI Mountain
Bike World Series event. Known for its scenic views and challenging
mountain bike trails, the venue welcomed the world's best Enduro
bikers in the fifth event of the 2024 season.
At a full length of 39.1 miles, the Aletsch Arena track
challenged riders with steep climbs totaling more than 17,500 feet
as well as tricky descents of 19,000 feet. In the penultimate race
of the 2024 Enduro World Cup season, Monster Energy's Moir dropped
in as a former World Champion working through yet another
challenging season so far.
In the Elite Men's division final, Moir made it clear that he's
still very much part of the podium discussion with a statement
victory. In the first stage, the Australian finished in second
place, 11.793 seconds behind Poland's Slawomir
Lukasik. Stage 2 on the tight Alpine Rodeo trail again saw
Moir finish in second place, three seconds behind Richie Rude, and seated in third place
overall.
Moir began building his victory in Stage 3 on the Cow Safari
track known for its steep descent. Winning the stage with a finish
time of 6:20.498, seven seconds ahead of the next challenger, Moir
boosted into first place. And he would not relinquish the lead,
winning Stage 4 on The Lord of the Rims trail and finally taking
first place in Stage 5 with a finish time of 4:34.026 and 3.795
ahead of Rude for his first race win of the season.
With a total finish time of 35:31.546, Moir completed the
challenging Aletsch Arena race in dominant fashion with a total of
14.061 seconds ahead of Lukasik in second place.
"What a wild day on the hill. Eight hours in the saddle with
some gnarly stages. Been some time since the last win, and damn it
feels good to be back!" said Moir upon taking the win in
Switzerland.
On the strength of his win at Aletsch Arena, Moir now commands
sixth place in the overall season rankings at 1266 points.
Next on the schedule, stay tuned for the sixth and final Enduro
race of the UCI Mountain Bike World Series with Downhill and
Enduro, which will be held from September 6
- 8, 2024, in Loudenvielle—Peyragudes, France.
