MTB World Cup winner Anton Sintsov said that after a two-year break he wanted to compete in the Russian championship, despite logistical problems.
Sintsov lives and trains in Italy. On Sunday, he won the Russian championship in cross-country mountain biking, which was held in the Leningrad region in the village of Yukki.
“It took a long time to get there, we only had time to discover each other,” Sintsov told . – There was only one transfer – to Istanbul, but long. I haven’t competed in the Russian championships for the past two years, so I wanted to compete now. The Yukki track is great, very technical, European level. I recently went to Austria, the trail is similar – short steep climbs along the roots.
How do you judge the level of competition? How was the race?
“Young people are moving in with us. Cross is not only physical training, but also technical and psychological. We need to develop in all these areas. They still have a long way to go.
– What are your plans for the future? You start in international races, but not in the World Cup.
— Today, it’s difficult to plan something, the situation changes every day, I can’t even say anything now.
