[Video] World Cup Albstadt: MUD FEST

I am in Albstadt, Germany, where the second round of the XC 2018 World Cup is being held. The reason for my stay is the launch of the new Cannondale F-Si, which tomorrow at 9:00 AM CST  (Midnight PST) you can see here on MTB Mag. Today I would have tried it on the race track but, thanks to the heavy rain that fell this morning and in the previous days, the track has turned into a muddy disaster which would make it impossible for me to judge a new bike.

This afternoon I spent some time filming the athletes in survival mode on the worst parts of the track.
