We loved Lenzerheide, the second stop on the 2023 XC World Cup circuit.
Austrian national champion Mona Mitterwallner set the standard for the weekend with a strong P16 finish in the short track race on Friday to secure a second-row start and then fought her way back through the order to a strong P7 finish on Sunday after a difficult start to race.
Reeling from a crash in short track, team captain Alan Hatherly relentlessly fended off and fought back from the attacks of his rivals and showed his nifty race craft with a last-second double pass in sight of the finish to secure second in the cross-country race.
And the young gun Charlie was exceptional, powering to an impressive 14th place finish.
