Specialized Factory Racing's Todd Wells, Burry Stander and Christoph Sauser put the screws to the rest of the pack in the Pro Men's Short Track XC. Wells and Stander took 1-2 and Sauser picking up 4th. All three road atop Specialized's Stumpjumper HT S-Works 29er which seems to be a dominating bike on this fast course. Wells and Stander pushed the pace from the very beginning and didn't let up at all.
Lene Byberg, also riding a Stumpjumper HT S-Works 29er made aggressive moves in the women's short track race, ultimately coming in a close 2nd.
