UCI MTB World Cup (All forms!)

[Axel Hangleck]

Lapierre will keep a team. Lapierre PXR Racing

Bohe, Cooper, Koller, Terpstra, Lillelund https://www.uci.org/team-details/21269


Unno is a new XC team https://www.uci.org/team-details/21316

Merged both Ghost & Lapierre into a slimmed down team....(they have the same parent company).


Looks like Gaze has stayed at Alpecin, as a MTB rider - and not left. Should have known not to trust a Dutch/Belgian website who only know about Road/ CX.........

KTM Factory misses out on the guaranteed full season wild card, but I think they'll get full invitations in any case

It hasn't even been released yet, and it's already among the best in the world. What is the Lapierre PXR Racing?

There is no official statement from the French manufacturer or the German structure, but the recorded data allows for some conclusions to be drawn.
