UCI MTB World Cup (All forms!)

Will be interesting to see which races Pidcock does, Kurt Boogart has said he will race mountain bikes after the Giro has finished and prior to the Vuelta.

If he's doing the Vuelta, then he can't ride the MTB Worlds; so I'm guessing selected World Cups, and possibly the Euros, in Portugal at the end of July.

I'd wager he won't do any MTB racing in 2025 at all...

It wouldn't be a huge surprise if he didn't; unless he wants to 'keep his eye in' and do something different between the Giro and Vuelta.

yeah the Euros has specifically been mentioned and I assume Andorra a few weeks before.

But that was before the Vuelta invite. The most recent interview with Boegarts suggests its still the case though, and gravel later on in the year. Although I don't really get that because the Worlds is the same weekend as Lombardy

I think they need to rethink the Gravel Worlds slot in the calendar; I'm sure it's been the same day as Paris-Tours, and the day after Lombardy..... Just move it to a week later.

Any important CX-race that week?

This is the answer. His team have a deal with Scott thru the end of 2025 and he knows the heavy Spark will too much bike for his light weight/max power.

I've several 'proper' 80's/ early 90's lightweight mountain bikes he can borrow.
I believe his contract states Pinarello for this season at least.
