They don't when there is a Downhill race......rumours they won't broadcast them at all in the future. Good to see Jenny calling out the critics of PFP's weight loss..........

Looks like a Belgium/ World Cup calendar....not a full CX calendar....... But it sums up how many people view the sport........

'One off' World championship events can produce shock winners - and that is why I dislike cycling's Worlds......A season long championship usually rewards the season's best rider with the title - you can't fluke a season championship. Being the best on one day is a lottery, and is no way to...

Boichis promoted to the WT RB-Bora team.....I wonder how much XCO racing he'll be allowed now he's on the WT team. And I wonder if U23 XCO World Champion Finn Treudler has had any interest from the WT teams???

Plenty of success for British riders in Junior & U23 World Road championships...........Quite a contrast to the MTB Worlds..........British cycling need to do more to get talent off-road racing.......

MTB Worlds will return 'home' to Durango in 2030.......about time in all honesty.

Fabio Puntener to Scott-Sram immediately.......and will race the last 2 North American World Cups........Good signing - and the team will surely want to see their riders start to get results from next season; they've all shown promise - now to deliver.

Great women's Elite race, a real 'ding dong' contest; and might have been more of a thriller had Pirellis' finest not let Evie down again, 2nd time in 3 races a big result has gone. I recall a few WRC drivers criticising Pirelli for poor performing tyres.......I doubt we'll see similar from the...

BBC website/ Red button with coverage of women's Elite ITT - and men's will be live on BBC 2 this afternoon - and with their own commentary team. MTB really is the poor relation.......

View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgX96LcVJFw End of an era. N1no's final XCO World Cup......... Personally, the non MTB cycling media have been pretty awful - he should be getting far more coverage.......the Road bias is so annoying.

Hell of a women's U23 race, with de San Roman getting of Corvi. Treudler has already opened up a big gap in the men's U23 race........

Puck looks way off her best form - and hasn't since the Tour - it seems this will be her last race of the season before a rest. Hopefully she doesn't do any CX until late December.........

To be honest, CX is his weakest discipline - and doesn't play to his strengths......flattish, heavy mud courses aren't really suitable for a lightweight rider. I don't blame him for giving the Road more of a focus, but he'll still do the odd XCO race to keep his eye in - and probably win.

Cat Ferguson putting Track & CX on hold while she concentrates on the Road; I can't say it is a surprise - Movistar have surely been keen for her to 'drop' non Road activities. Canadian Champ Ian Ackert will also miss the CX season to rest and train for the 2026 MTB season........but US Champ...

I thought that once again, the coverage of the MTB Worlds was as average as ever; didn't seem to be much build up, no previews before the races, no post race analysis, etc All a bit 2nd rate, and commentary on TNT from a studio in the UK - not at the venue....... I'll wait to see what Road...
