Depends on her contract.If a rider stops mid-season without a physical injury, is a team obligated to pay them their full salary?

When PFP will be selected for the road, then this would be a slap in the face for all the other top french road riders.Looks like PFP will race both MTB Worlds, and possibly Road Worlds, as announced on The Move (subject to approval from the French Federation).

PFP has no good road result in the last couple of years and therefore a selection for the road would be a huge suprise.
With PFP moving to the road, and Puck riding so well in the Tour-Femmes, you wonder if it has inspired any of the top MTB riders to give it a go. Stigger is a former Junior Road World champion, and I've always thought Mitterwallner is climber waiting to be unleashed, and without the handicap of her poor starts.

This has gone down like lead balloon on Pinkbike and VitalMTB..........

What I learned from the interview. 1.They regards 'growing the sport' as getting more subscribers to their streaming services. 2.'Adding value' to the sport just means Wb can charge more. 3.'Professionalising' the sport means being elite only........but they aren't interested in providing a pathway to get there. 4.The UCI don't care what they do with it as long as they get payed. You don't have to be a genius to realise they their aim is to create a package that is cheaper to run, generates more income, can be watched by a non cycling audience in a condensed TV friendly format. 'We' are not the target market and riders are an easily replaced resource so pissing off both groups is not a concern. (watchmen)
The mixed relay starts in approx. 8 hours and not a single start list is to be found. What is the point of sustaining it if you can't be bothered to do the simplest things?
No live stream for the mixed relay, no live stream for the junior events. It's sad. Everything in mtb is stationary, it's a circuit. How hard can it be?And is there any live stream for this? If you can't provide that for your World championships, why bother having the event?
Every event SHOULD be live. If an organiser can't provide this, then they shouldn't be hosting the MTB Worlds. It's 2024......not good enough.
And yet it was live last year, as I recall Philipsen sliding out at the end of the first lap of the relay.No live stream for the mixed relay, no live stream for the junior events. It's sad. Everything in mtb is stationary, it's a circuit. How hard can it be?
Sh!t, I can't find a replay anywhere. Complete BS.No live stream for the mixed relay, no live stream for the junior events. It's sad. Everything in mtb is stationary, it's a circuit. How hard can it be?
I don't think anything was/will be "televised" (live or not) until the Friday's elite XCC races...Sh!t, I can't find a replay anywhere. Complete BS.
