The XCO circuit is little changed from last year, but the riders are well aware of how difficult it is, with steep punishing climbs in the first half of the 4.18 kilometre course.
The Women's cross-country series has had three winners in three rounds, so there is no clear favourite in Albstadt. Jolanda Neff (Liv Pro XC), the winner of Round One, continues to lead the overall standings, however, her team mate Pauline Ferrand Prevot absolutely dominated the last round, winning by almost three minutes. The other rider to watch will be former World Cup Champion Catharine Pendrel (Luna). Pendrel returned to World Cup competition last weekend after missing the earlier rounds due to injury, however, the Canadian showed that she is clearly on form by finishing second to Ferrand Prevot.
The Men's competition will be equally interesting. Julien Absalon (BMC) won the first two rounds, while his perennial rival Nino Schurter (Scott-Odlo) won last weekend. Both had difficulties last year at Albstadt, with Absalon having to drop out with mechanical problems while holding a commanding lead, and Schurter having an uncharacteristically bad day to finish 18th. Others to watch include Olympic Champion Jaroslav Kulhavy (Specialized Racing XC) and Daniel McConnell (Trek Factory Racing), who had a breakthrough ride at Albstadt last year, winning the first World Cup of his career, and who has since become a regular podium threat.

Hermida no tiene su mejor día en Albstadt. Hoy se ha celebrado la cuarta Copa del Mundo del 2014 en Albstadt (Alemania), El líder del Multivan-Merida no ha tenido buenas sensaciones durante la carrera de hoy.
“No he encontrado el ritmo en ningún momento. He salido mal pero he pensado que las sensaciones podrían mejorar durante la carrera. Pero no ha sido así. Sé que estoy en un buen momento como demuestran los últimos resultados pero hoy no ha habido manera de ir tan rápido como en las últimas carreras”, comenta el líder del Multivan-Merida.
Según explica él mismo “ha sido un mal día, pero tocaba sufrir y trabajar, más aún estando en casa de uno de nuestros máximos espónsors. Estoy seguro que los puntos de hoy van a tener un valor importante al final de la temporada. Son muchos años compitiendo y sé de lo que hablo. Es en estos momentos que hay que saber luchar y aguantar”.
Hermida buscará ahora un buen resultado en los Campeonatos de Europa, título que ya ha conseguido en tres ocasiones en la máxima categoría.
