If Pidcock wins this, won't his last four MTB races have been Olympic Champion, two World Cup victories, European Champion?

That's Rob Hatch, Eurosport's main commentator for the road cycling these days. He also did the Commomwealth Games MTB for the BBC, and was a lot more listenable than he is for GTs etc.
Sorry. You're right of course! It was such an instantly forgettable race (women's) I got the two confused. Remember being surprised at how much Ned seem to know about the 9 riders who took part.thats probably because for the commonwealths it was Ned Boulting.

Also if he wins WCH in Les Gets we won't be seeing Euro champ jersey next season
Which I don't mind at all.
TBF it would somewhat suck if he wins next week (although I expect he likely will). I have multiple reasons for thinking this, which range from how much he does not tend to race MTB (and I guess what that in extension says about the rest of the field), to my other assumptions about him. This said, it is not like it's a big negative from me if we wins, I just would love to see a few other folks take the W.Considering he's good at peaking for the big occasion, one assumes he'll be better next week. This was the warm up.....

i'd disagree... we've seen it throughout the whole season. not at the front i'd agree but still...To be fair we barely seen it this year with Lars Forster either.
yep... but i'd love if a youngster would grab that wc title - Loana or MonaA shame for PFP, she was looking good.....however there is always next week.
I'd disagree with you...the cameras are always trained on the riders at the front of the race. I've rarely noticed the Euro jersey this year as Lars has been off the back.i'd disagree... we've seen it throughout the whole season. not at the front i'd agree but still...

(although not sure if Mona will be allowed to race the Elite race already)
