Interesting racing! I hope Paris is an interesting race ... it's not very technically challenging, and it would be fun to watch a race that is competitivePuck with the win!
I think top 15 would be a great result for her at the Olympics. It will be interesting to see.After a slow start, another dominant win in the U23 women's race for Isabella Holmgren. I'm curious what this dominance in U23 looks like when she lines up against elites in Paris. Top 15?
It will. The Olympic course does not present with as much vertical gain per lap, which will not be to her advantage. Nor will her typically slower starts. However, the lack of lap traffic will help her.I think top 15 would be a great result for her at the Olympics. It will be interesting to see.
No, Riley Amos is the #1 ranked male XCO cyclist in the world. He's won every World Cup XCO race he has started this year.Hopefully someone can take the time to enlighten me, just casually thinking about Olympics start positions.
I assumed world rankings would be used, but Riley Amos appears to be ranked number one. Surely that cannot be right, or am I looking at the wrong data .
Every U23 race he has started. No reason for those wins to accumulate the same points as the Elite race.No, Riley Amos is the #1 ranked male XCO cyclist in the world. He's won every World Cup XCO race he has started this year.
No one has ever accused the UCI with being the smartest bunch running a sporting league.Every U23 race he has started. No reason for those wins to accumulate the same points as the Elite race.
Everyone is heading to elevation. This past weekend was bad scheduling.N1NO was scheduled to race last weekend, but decided to skip it to better prep for the OLY race. I hope that he is just feeling a little cooked, and not injured or sick.

Nino is an old man now. He needs more time for recovery/training to freshen up for the Olympic games, which is his main objective this season.Yeah, absolutely. It makes me question those running the series.....and as I've already mentioned, a massive gap to the next World Cup, in late September; so near enough 3 months. They could have scheduled Les Gets the week after the Worlds in Andorra.
I think it's the first World Cup N1no has chosen to miss for over 10 years (not including injury).
True, but I wish I was as young as him!Nino is an old man now. He needs more time for recovery/training to freshen up for the Olympic games, which is his main objective this season.
yeah... i kinda expected this. props to her to pass the spot to colleague with better chances (though Sina had also poor results this season)And now confirmed, Jolanda gives up her place, and Sina takes her place.
