The recent XTERRA USA Championships in Utah delivered some surprising results. Two of the firm favourites, Rubén Ruzafa and Conrad Stolz, only managed third and fourth position respectively.
Rubén, who was out of the water in the 20th position, had to fight hard to claw his way back on the bike and run to secure his third place on the podium.
Conrad Stolz, 4 times XTERRA World Champion, managed to finish fourth after a strong bike leg but he lost some time during the run. However, it was Ruzafa who proved to be the undisputable mountain bike champion with the fastest bike finish.
The overall winner was Leonardo Chacon (Costa Rica) with Josiah Middaugh (USA) in second position.
The countdown to the World Championships in Maui in October has started……

Men: Leonardo Chacon; Josiah Middaugh; Ruben Ruzafa; Conrad Stoltz; Dan Hugo; Ben Allen
