Schurter's debut in Lenzerheide on Sunday
The Schurter showdown is the final act of the three-day Lenzerheide World Cup. On the Sunday of the competition (September 21), the men's cross-country race starts at 3.30 pm. Nino Schurter will also be taking part for the very last time. This finalissima has a very special significance for him: the course in Lenzerheide is practically on the doorstep of the exceptional athlete, who lives in Chur. And it takes place in Switzerland in front of a home crowd, which gives the whole thing a special emotional touch.
Nino Schurter has shaped the image of mountain biking for twenty years and is the most successful cross-country rider of all time with his successes. With his easy-going and likeable manner, he has provided invaluable services to the sport and shaped the public image of the sport like no other.
The World Cup race in Lenzerheide now offers all mountain bikers the opportunity to give the icon a worthy farewell party. For those who have never been to a World Cup race: now is the opportunity. And for those who have already been to the edge of the course several times: this goosebump race is not to be missed.
To be there right at the edge of the course, tickets are available on the event website. Ideally, you should travel by public transport, especially as a large number of spectators are expected.
And the weather forecast for the weekend is sunny and warm.
