Dylan van Baarle and Pauline Ferrand-Prévot triumph in a duo MTB race on exotic Curaçao

Lovebirds Dylan van Baarle and Pauline Ferrand-Prévot have together won the Kärcher Duo Xtreme, a mountain bike race on Curaçao. The Dutch-French couple completed the 75 kilometer course in 3 hours and 44 minutes. The next couple crossed the line more than half an hour behind the Jumbo-Visma/INEOS Grenadiers pair.

In the duo competition for men, Niki Terpstra won together with Barry Bakker, while Fabio Jakobsen finished second together with Marc de Maar. On the island in the Caribbean Sea, Jakobsen was still a top performer in the mixed duo competition last year. At that time he won the couples competition together with 'his' Dolore. That event was considered their honeymoon at the time.
