Fabian Rabensteiner will have to pay attention: our tip at the Marathon World Championships, as well as reigning European Champion, will have to have an eye on all these XCO athletes returning from the last World Cup race in Val di Sole.
ITALIAN CONVOCATIONS AND RACE PROGRAM
NAMES TO LOOK FOR
In the men's field, one of the most fearsome names is Jordan Sarrou, after the 3rd place in Val di Sole. Jordan Sarrou, XCO world champion in 2020, has shown that he is growing in condition and will certainly be able to do well in the XCO world championship if the path suits him. Another interesting name is Sebastian Fini, who will have racing at home from him. Attention also to Samuel Gaze, Short Track champion. Very explosive athlete but with a recent past in road bike that leads him not to be too naïve when it comes to long distances.
Among the women, the presence of Pauline Ferrand-Prevot, already mentioned as an athlete aiming for both the Marathon and Gravel world championships, to become the athlete who has won in almost all off-road disciplines. It presents the young, and already 2020 Marathon World Champion, Mona Mitterwallner.
In the list of entries we also find Jolanda Neff but we do not know if it will really start.
MARATHON SPECIALISTS
All the marathon specialists were present, namely Andreas Seewald, Leonardo Paez, Daniel Geismayr and our Fabian Rabensteiner. Also present Jaroslav Kulhavy who, after the performances in some marathons this year, is to always keep an eye on.
