Lista de estrellas que competirán en la Shimano Super Cup Massi de Banyoles

La Shimano Super Cup Massi de Banyoles será la prueba con más nivel antes del arranque de la Copa del Mundo. 15 de los 20 mejores bikers del ranking UCI estarán en la línea de salida.

A mini World Cup weekend, with a decent entry, and Discovery/UCI using it a a 'test event' - a pity they're not covering it live, though it will be streamed online elsewhere.

In other news, Vlad Dascalu has extended for 3 more years with TFR; that first World Cup win is surely close.

Banyoles XCC later this afternoon...don't think there is any live stream.

And in what is a 'mini' World Cup, it's a shame the cycling media don't bother mentioning it. Compared to an early season CX race.....and that gets far more coverage.

Interesting racing for the first HC race of the season......and in mixed conditions. Still over 2 months to the first World Cup, so plenty of time to get in form, but some riders already looking good.

Filippo Colombo with a low-key but surprising result for me in his first road race for Q36.5, finishing with the main bunch in K-B-K.

I didn't expect him to feature in the northern classics, as I thought his MTB background would make him favour other types of races. Wonder if the team is planning to send him to Strade Bianche. He should have a decent preparation from doing the MTB South African summer.

EDIT: And now I see that he will indeed do the Strade Bianche, and also wants to do Ronde and Roubaix, although he is still a reserve rider for now.

There were a few MTB-ers riding on the road over the weekend; Sam Gaze also did K-B-K, as is down for Le Samyn tomorrow. Koreztky did the Faun Ardeche races - and even launched a mini attack at one point.

Puck Pieterse va a por el MTB tras su gran Strade Bianche: "me quiero centrar en los JJOO de 2024"

Puck Pieterse logró ser 6ª en la Strade Bianche, un resultado espectacular para alguien con tan poca experiencia en carretera. Pero su objetivo ahora pasa a ser estar en los JJOO de París 2024 en MTB

Puck focusing on the MTB and Paris 2024 Olympics....so no more Road for the time being. It will be interesting to see how well she does in the Elites.......which is far more competitive and a deeper field than CX.

yeah, overheard it during the Strade coverage (where she was fantastic)... hyped for her big time. hope she'll do the track introductions on her yt as she did for CX - she is fun. and hope she'll get some big results in elite to secure her place in Paris. i believe the Dutch only have 2 spots so far which can be a bit tricky for the nominations.

The maximum number of riders each country can take is 2; so the Dutch will have to choose between Terpstra, Tauber who are the current top 2; Pieterse, and others.......
On another forum they don't rate her chances in XCO,......As CX female riders have a poor record in XCO.

2 is actually the maximum? uff that's harsh. not sure why I was thinking it's 3... or 4 even.
regarding her performance... we'll see: she had few good results in U23 XCO last year... not sure how many starts though... but she was 2nd both in Albstadt and Nove Mesto U23 races. I'm just hyped for her for some reason :)

She also won in Leogang, 3rd in Lenzerheide, 2nd in the Worlds, and won the Euros....she was the 2nd best U23 rider behind Burquier.

Some decent XCO racing in France and Switzerland with top names racing; easily the equivalent of Superprestige/X20 in Cyclocross, but sadly not newsworthy from Cyclingnews, and other cycling media.

Yes, I'd noticed that - winning a XCO race in Switzerland the other week; he's got loads of power so has been suited to the shorter XCC races. He seemed to struggle on courses with significant climbing.....
