Hadleigh Farm International MTB, Olympic Test Event

Julien Absalon and Catharine Pendrel are winners of the pre-Olympic London 2012. The French will point to the third consecutive Olympic title, a real record. The men race over 7 laps(32.7km) and the time was 1h31'48. This track is very fast, however, that will test athletes with its constant climb and downhill. Purists turn up their noses at bike at this track since it was built entirely artificial but the world of mountain biking is also a show, adrenaline, and this track is. Jaroslav Kulhavy finished in 5th place and even if you are not 100% committed to demonstrate that this is not really his kind of course, very technical and with constant changes of pace but who will see him fighting for victory.
Absalon said that this is a track to grimpeur also considering road very narrow, so who knows a good start will be much benefited while the runners or those who come out to the distance you will face a difficult path that will not allow large recoveries.
