Millavoise pilot Marine Cabirou won the second round of the World Cup in Poland. Dylan Levesque takes a nice 20th place.

Marine Cabirou didn't wait long before getting into tune. After a little disillusionment in the first round of the World Cup in Fort William, the Millavoise showed that she would have to be counted on during this new exercise. She won the race in Bielsko-Biala (Poland) ahead of the Swiss Camille Balanche and the German Nina Hoffman.

"A track where everyone started from scratch"

For this new episode, the drivers started from 0. A new track never ridden in competition. "It’was cool to have a track where everyone started from zero, we all started equally, details the Millavoise pilot. There were beautiful parts in the undergrowth where the track quickly became dug and damaged, in the end it evolved in the right direction and it became a real cutting track. world."

She also had to get back in the saddle after a performance that she wasn't necessarily expecting at the season opener in Scotland. "There was a little questioning and we discovered at the beginning of the week that there was a problem with my bike so that still took a weight off my head and that It was a relief to see that the mistake was not just me at Fort William. It allowed me to get off to a good start."

"The track suited me pretty well"

Strong enough to gain strength as she took charge of the track. Between qualification and the final, the Millavoise improved her time by ten seconds. "The track suited me rather well with a lot of jumps and sections in the undergrowth more technical, she explains. This is the kind of terrain that usually suits me."

Not enough to jump for joy when crossing the finish arch when you see your time. “It’was hard to know because it rained early in the afternoon and the conditions changed when we got to the top. We didn't know if we could push during the final run but I still had a good descent. It's always tricky to know if it was the winning run, it wasn't the perfect run but it was enough to win." An ideal victory to build confidence before tackling the next stage which will take place from June 7 to 9 in Leogang, Austria.

A good performance for Dylan Levesque

She is not the only one to return from Poland with better feelings than in Scotland. After his fall in the semi-final at Fort William, Dylan Levesque obviously wanted to do better during this new World Cup round. Having barely made it to the final (29th and the first 30 are qualified), he made the run he wanted in the final. "It’is a have a good weekend, the level is getting higher and higher and places are expensive so you have to hang on."

His good performance allowed him to take 20th place and move up in the general rankings. 54th at the end of the Scottish round, he is now 33rd. Marine occupies 5th position. The performances of the Millavois allowed the Scott team to win the collective title on this stage and get on the podium.
