The Mens race: all riders took over two hours to complete their courses but Finland’s Samuli Saarela coped best with the heat and the terrain to take Gold ahead of Denmark’s Erik Skovgaard Knudsen by 4 minutes.<\/p>\n

In the Junior Men’s\u00a0competition the Danes are starting to dominate with a win by Andreas Proschowsky but in the Junior Women’s the Russians are still up front with a Gold and Silver, Svetlana Poverina taking the win.<\/p>\n
