I think he should be eligible for a 4th or 5th row, he is currently ranked 18th on the road. He is not longer ranked at cross.With no World Cup racing since Crans-Montana last year, his ranking has dropped; so no XCC on Friday, and a lowly start position likely on Sunday.......unless one of his Road or CX rankings allows him to start from higher up. 4th or 5th row like MvdP did in Nove Mesto.
The same as last year's Worlds when Evie & PFP sprinted.....You couldn't really tell who was winning.....Terrible camera angle.Amateurish coverage of the finish line sprint... and such a bad luck for Nino - he was in the 1st group right up to that "Koretzky moment" (snapped chain) at the end of the race. Must be pretty pissed.
He said in the pre-race interview that he plans ECH.seems it's his last WC race this season... wonder if he'll go for the ECH and the WCH
Yes. And when is that likely to happen? We know he doesn't spend enough time on the MTB - whether training/ racing.Mathieu needs an entire season to catch up
