Evie hired a downhill coach to help her with her technical skills this year. Must be a great coach!

I heard somewhere that she was also helped by Katy Curd.
Yeah:
"I got into cycling late, so for me the emphasis was always to build fitness, but it gets to the stage where fitness is not enough. You need to have that technical ability. Last year, I was riding at the Forest of Dean and I saw Katy Curd go off a drop. I just went up and said, "Please teach me how to do that!", and since then she's been my technical coach. I feel more confident descending, and even little things transfer to cross – whether it's cornering, carrying speed or riding in ruts."

Keep improving, work on weaknesses, learn new skills - reap the rewards! Evie is the proof these things work.
This article states Evie only trains on the bike 3 or 4 days per week. Can this be true or is this just during the off season?How I train: Evie Richards

without really knowing much, she probably does a lot of running as well, due to her CX, not sure if this could aid her MTB though.
I did a 9 to 5 on a really tough, technical two hour loop (well two hours for the first few laps), and it took me a month to feel good on the bike again!

Some news/ possible transfers;
Trek-Vaude have signed quite a few U23 riders - and their young star Mona Mitterwallner will ride the Elites next season - and is leaving the team; one assumes for TFR....but who knows.
Sebastian Fini-Carstensen announced he was leaving Bart's team a few weeks ago - and this morning it's been confirmed he's going to KMC-Orbea, for a 1 year deal.

I'm willing to bet that Mona Mitterwallner is going to Cannondale.
She is not staying with Trek-Vaude but that was already likely after her season. I would expect her to stay with Trek and step up to the Factory Team but some rumours point her to a team without female representation and to add fuel to the fire she recently started following Mani Fumic, Avancini and Cannondale's digital media guy on social media.
Jolanda, Evie and Mona would be overkill.
