Adrien Boichis answered the call in La Thuile, then hung up the conversation at the line. On a fast, dusty, technical, and steep short track, Boichis stayed calm through every attack, matched the moves that mattered, then delivered his own when the race opened up. Round 5 XCC belonged to Boichis.
His win came aboard the S-Works Epic 9, built for the explosive speed and control World Cup short track demands. Paired with Roval Control World Cup wheels, Specialized tires, S-Works Evade 4 helmet, and S-Works Recon EVO shoes, Boichis had the efficiency to answer attacks and the traction to make his winning move stick.
