Uhh you do know Claudio is not an EWS racer right?

Schurter did an EWS in Finale a few years ago and came an impressive 167th. Hardly putting them to shame.

Not quite the full story. He had a mechanical on one stage, which then cost him a 6 minute time penalty and shoved him down the overall, but of the 5 stages he was

15th
55th
19th
9th
94th

If it wasn't for the time penalty, he would've been 40th instead of 167th

Looking after your bike is part and parcel of EWS. That’s what I like about the format - it’s so much more than just hammering downhill.

Not knocking Nino by the way - I think he’s great - he’s the only male XC rider I’ve heard of!

He was also running a dropper post

He’s a former Swiss national DH champ though, so hardly a slouch...
