[KMC Riders] Julie Bresset World Champion XC with KMC X10SL Gold
Updated : 2013-09-10

Julie Bresset (France) did the double this season by pulling off a win at the elite women's cross country world championship just three weeks after winning the Olympic Games. Behind the first-year elite French woman, the race was for second, with Gunn-Rita Dahle Flesjaa (Norway) taking silver and Georgia Gould (United States) the bronze medal.

At first it was a little like the Olympic Games with three women at the front. But instead of Bresset, Spitz and Gould, it was Dahle-Flesjaa filling in for Gould.

However, Spitz was the next to face some bad luck. She crashed on the first descent of lap three and lost several places after addressing the related carnage.

With about one lap to go, Bresset led Dahle Flesjaa by 1:26 and Gould by 2:56. Süss, Kalentieva, Sabine Spitz and Lechner chased in close proximity toward each other. Julie-Bresset-worldchampion-XC-with-KMC-X10SL-Gold.
