This year’s races took place in Cheile Grădiștei on the same challenging track used for the European Championships earlier in the year. The course had become even more difficult due to rain, which washed away sections and exposed more rocks, making the terrain rougher for riders.

In the Short Track (XCC) race, the competition was fierce. Despite a strong start and leading the race for the first three laps, Vlad Sabau ultimately finished in 3rd place. This marked a significant improvement from last year, though it wasn’t enough to secure the win.
