VAL DI SOLE, Italy — Nino Schurter of Switzerland and Pauline Ferrand-Prevot of France won mountain bike World Cup races in Italy on Sunday, making emphatic statements that the veterans are still among the ones to beat at the Paris Olympics in just over a month.
The victory came on the heels of a second-place finish to reigning Olympic champion Tom Pidcock in the Czech Republic. Pidcock did not compete Sunday as he turns his attention to Tour de France prep, though the British multidiscipline star plans to be back on the mountain bike for the World Cup race in the Swiss Alps less than a week before the Tour begins.
Christopher Blevins, who was named to the U.S. team for the Paris Games earlier in the week, finished 26th in the elite World Cup race. His newly minted Olympic teammate, Riley Amos, won the under-23 race earlier in the weekend.Katie Ledecky heading to her fourth Olympics, wins 400 freestyle at US swimming trialsIn the women’s race, Ferrand-Prevot broke away from the field on the second lap along with Puck Pieterse and Loana Lecomte, the French national champion.
