UCI MTB World Cup (All forms!)

[glassmoon]

yep... he's big in Brazil... might even end up in Santa Cruz since they have free spots and are still quiet about new signings...

 

[Axel Hangleck]

Cannondale still haven't announced any new riders - despite it being obvious that Charlie Aldridge has signed........

 

[Axel Hangleck]

Going by instagram Trek may have a new kit, but can't reveal it just yet; however it may have appeared on a Trek-Segafredo riders feed during the training camp.

Avancini's future will be known next thursday.

MTB World Cup now part of the new UCI MTB World Series........

If I have one concern it's too many changes all at once, time will tell if it works.

Avancini with his 'own' team, on Caloi bikes, part of the Pons group - and with 3 young riders.

*Streaming is available on discovery+ in Austria, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and the UK and Ireland.
+ Eurosport App and GCN+

No mention about Eurosport Int.

I guess all of the few fans that XCC has are basically out unless paying for the coverage/app. That sucks.

seems like he's doesn't care for top results anymore... (he was on the decline anyways). good to see him supporting (via his name) local brand/riders/staff.

I think that was expected; putting it on Eurosport 1/2 was never likely; other more popular sports will take priority.

If you were relying on Cycling news for all your MTB info, you would know anything.......

 

[Axel Hangleck]

Going by instagram Trek may have a new kit, but can't reveal it just yet; however it may have appeared on a Trek-Segafredo riders feed during the training camp.

And as seen on the new kit, they will now be on Pirelli Scorpion tyres - as seen in the WRC......I hope they're more durable than those tyres.

It will be good to see Sagan back on the MTB again...though he needs to race some this year to get some points for the Olympics. Hopefully this time he will devote more time on the MTB and bring some tires that can hold air.

 

[Axel Hangleck]

Sarrou finally confirmed at BMC. However it's a 'new' team, with new management. NO mention of Absalon.....but new sponsors in Ohlins, Pirelli & Assos.

Currently, Slovakia are ahead of the Netherlands........30 v 31.......in the UCI rankings.

List of UCI MTB teams, and Ineos have registered, and with four riders....PFP, Pidcock, plus Tulett & Turner.... which is quite interesting.

I wasn't aware that Tulett and Turner raced XCO.

 

[Axel Hangleck]

No, neither was I; Tulett is probably better suited to XCO as he's rather slight - and the climbing would really suit him. I'm not surprised he's given up CX for now.....

Wins yesterday for Hatherly, Keller, and today for Courtney & Schurter.

 

[DNP-Old]

Hey, that's not mountain bike! Well, it is, sort of. This is Martin Vidaurre, winning a big stage race in Argentina after winning the ultimate stage and thus gaining bonifications. He had already come 3rd in Juana Koslay MTF, where the queen stage was held. Seems to have had a good winter, ready for the pro's.

 

[Axel Hangleck]

Hmm, that's interesting......I suppose if he was a CX racer, people would ask "when is he moving to the road?"
