GLASGOW : Pauline Ferrand-Prevot completed a golden double at the UCI World Championships when she outclassed the field to win the mountain bike cross country title for a fifth time on Saturday.The 31-year-old French rider attacked her compatriot Loana Lecomte on the second lap in a wet Glentress Forest and never looked back as she won by more than a minute.Ferrand-Prevot also won the short track title this week."I'm feeling very happy.
It was a super hard race, I didn't have a good start but I wanted to keep my own pace during all the race," she told reporters."It's what I did - full gas on the uphill and then I tried to recover on the downhill and it worked out perfectly.
I'm proud of myself because I kept my plan even though I didn't have a good start. I just said: 'I have one mission today and I have to reach it'."The all-rounder now has five world titles in the cross country discipline which is the Olympic Games event.Lecomte was second with Dutchwoman Puck Pieterse winning the scrap for the bronze medal.
