Another successful cyclist who should be better well known; but as we know, the cycling media is road biased, and non road legends don't get the respect they should.

Pyeongyang, South Korea to kick off the 2026 MTB World Cup - and another US round in Soldier Hollow, Utah.......
Interesting news, but rumoured elsewhere.

Many thanks for posting.
What do you think this means, extra races, or two existing for the chop?

Well Lake Placid is in the 2nd year of a 3-4 year contract, so we'll get 2 US World Cups - which is probably right, as US manufacturers are a large part of the sport - and Lake Placid isn't far from Monte Saint-Anne, so 3 North America rounds is a good thing in my view.

I've no idea about other rounds, and it would be a shame to lose Araxa in Brazil, as it's produced some exciting racing, and has an enthusiastic crowd.
