Another successful cyclist who should be better well known; but as we know, the cycling media is road biased, and non road legends don't get the respect they should.

Well Lake Placid is in the 2nd year of a 3-4 year contract, so we'll get 2 US World Cups - which is probably right, as US manufacturers are a large part of the sport - and Lake Placid isn't far from Monte Saint-Anne, so 3 North America rounds is a good thing in my view.
I've no idea about other rounds, and it would be a shame to lose Araxa in Brazil, as it's produced some exciting racing, and has an enthusiastic crowd.

Record audiences for the MTB World Cup.........
I rode at Soldier Hollow in the late '90s and it was a standard Nordic affair. It was substantially improved for the '02 Olympics. My understanding is that it has also improved over the years as a mountain biking venue.For the first time, the XCO World Cup arrives in Korea

Rumours on mtbr that MSA is going to be dropped from the schedule.........
Those who pay the $$$$$ will get the events - the historical venues are going to be in danger if they don't have the $$$$$. It's the same model as motorsport; history means nothing if new venues show the $$$$$

Ava and Isabella Holmgren re-up with Lidl-Trek. Isabella's press release mentons being happy to be continuing with her mix of road and MTB (no mention of continuing with cyclocross... 😢) which I take as a a good sign.

Re-signing them is no brainer; talented across multi disciplines. I'm sure they'll dip in and out of CX when it suits their schedule, but I don't think it's a major target for them. To be honest, there's enough proof that Isabella is a climber - and CX isn't a discipline that favours climbers - far too few courses with any decent climbs in - and those that have them are usually unrideable due to muddy conditions.

I remember years ago on BBC radio's old cycling podcast , Bespoke, and Nino was described as "the greatest cyclist you've never heard of" - I don't think much has changed. The cycling media are still far too road focused, and there is still some old school snobbery towards MTB.
