U.S. Snowboardcross Team Set for Cervinia World Cup
With one FIS Snowboardcross World Cup under their belt in Montafon, Austria, members of the U.S. Snowboardcross Team head to Cervinia, Italy for their second stop on the tour.
In the course of two years of organizing the FIS Snowboard Cross World Cup, Italy’s Cervinia resort proved itself as a top-tier World Cup venue, with the course’s huge, sweeping turns and multiple passing areas lending themselves to thrilling back-and-forth racing throughout the competition.
Lindsey Jacobellis will lead the way for the U.S. following a solid fifth-place finish at the first race of the year in Austria. After just missing the big final in Montafon, and knowing Lindsey’s fearless determination, she will surely be looking to add another podium to her collection in Cervinia.
For the men, Hagen Kearney is coming off a respectable 10th-place finish in Montafon followed by teammates Jake Vedder and Nick Baumgartner in eleventh and twelfth respectively. Cervinia will be a great opportunity to break through into the semi-final rounds of competition.
