Interesting, I wonder where he's riding this year

I'm guessing he's just racing MTB for Specialized Factory Racing as it's Olympic year, and there are only two places per country. I did think he'd been placed on Bora by Specialized, but maybe not.....
And his World Cup wins came in Specialized colours, not Bora - so they didn't get any benefit from his MTB wins.

As rumoured, Greg Minnaar moves to Norco.
Swiss U23 rider Dario Lillo moves to Giant Factory Off-Road team......from Scott Creuse Oxygene. No idea what happens to his Road/CX career where he's on the Q36.5 development team.....

Some news, and transfer news:

Vali Holl returns to YT from Rockshox-Trek; I think the Trek Factory have made a mistake in not signing her; they don't have a full time female DH rider.......Maybe all the money has gone on all the road riders they signed.

Chiara Teocchi move to Orbea Factory Team, and PFP will return in La Nucia, Spain.

Interestingly, Trek Factory Racing-Pirelli have Albert Philipsen on their team, but not the Holmgrens......

I would't read much into this. Because on the Cyclocross section for example, Puck Pieterse and Fem van Empel are missing.

Any idea if Snowshoe is going to have amateur races the same weekend? I'd go race that for sure. Lake Placid doesn't interest me as much. The article does lead one to think that there will be "open" races at the 3 World Cup rounds.

A good weekend for Ineos, with two XCO wins with both World Champions.......

Something I've noticed when the Ineos social media account put out non World Cup MTB race info, is the number of people asking where they can watch. Fortunately, this race had a You Tube stream, but often there is no live coverage.......

Cyclingnews with reports of the CX Superprestige, but no mention of any of the XCO racing from the weekend.......
And as of yet, nothing on Pinkbike........Not good enough; the sport needs far better media if its going to pull in more money/ sponsors.....
