    EDIT: Or did you mean between Koretzky and Cink for second place?

    It looks like it was David Juarez. Never heard of him, and actually 27 years ago. Overend was third having won the previous round

    Better known as 'Tinker' Juarez.....along with Overend and Tomac were the early US MTB legends.....

    There is an account on You Tube which has the old mid 90s Grundig World Cups. Lenzerheide is almost unrecognisable.

    It's a great event. A nice technical course to keep you awake at night
