Absalon, Schurter to face off in Windham MTB World Cup

Another fierce battle is expected between World Champion Julien Absalon (BMC Mountainbike) and former World Champion Nino Schurter (Scott-Odlo MTB) this weekend at the Windham World Cup. Schurter is coming in as the defending champion, having won on the slopes of Windham Mountain last season. He also has grabbed the World Cup Series lead last week after Jaroslav Kulhavy (Specialized) faltered at Mont-Sainte-Anne. Schurter now has 850 points while Kulhavy has 740.
