Update after qualifying: following an unlucky run, Loris Revelli does not qualify for the finals.

In downhill we certainly don't start with the favors of the prediction but we have many good athletes who can have their say, starting with Eleonora Farina, already on the podium several times in this 2022 and very motivated to achieve the big result. Mondraker has dedicated a personalized livery to him. Behind her, Veronika Widmann, always present in the top10. The favorites of the women's race will certainly be Myriam Nicole and Camille Balanche, the latter however returning from a shoulder injury. Outsider the loose cannon Valentina Holl and Nina Hoffmann.

Among men, Amaury Pierron proved that if he doesn't make a mistake, he is a tough nut to crack. Watch out for the champion Finn Iles and the expert Greg Minnaar. Loic Bruni made a lot of mistakes this year but showed in the last stage that he was in the right form to look for the exploit. Outsiders could be Troy Brosnan, growing in form, Laurie Greenland, Andreas Kolb (reigning European champion) and Loris Vergier (winner in Andorra).

Among the Juniors Jackson Goldstone is the dominator of the category and, barring mistakes, he will have to take the rainbow jersey. But until the arrival, nothing is said. Blue hopes in Davide Cappello, absolute DH Italian champion at only 18 years old.

ALL THE INFO ON THE 2022 MTB WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS



Written by

[email protected] I am passionate about everything that has 2 wheels: in my youth I practiced competitive cycling on the road and on the track with good results. At the age of 18 I moved to cross country competing at national/international level as U23. Once I passed Elite, I made the choice to take things easier from the training point of view, and that's how my love for gravity disciplines was born, training as an FCI MTB instructor and guide. Now I have made my passion my profession by managing 3 MTB centers on the island of Elba (Elba MTB), creating the FANTAmtb and telling in an ironic but professional way, everything that revolves around MTB thanks to 365mountainbike and 365TV (YouTube 'PULITI dentro BIKER fuori').
