Team Relay is a discipline that has always seen us in the first places but the unknowns are many and it is always difficult to declare a favorite nation. The Team relay is one of the events included in the program of the mountain bike world championship. It runs from the 1999 edition and consists of a mixed team relay, initially composed of 1 Elite, 1 U23, 1 Juniores and a female (usually ELITE). From 2017 to 2019 the components have become 5 while, from the 2020 edition, they have been increased to 6, i.e. one athlete for each category (EL, U23, JUN male and female).

ROLL OF GOLD TEAM RELAY

Last year, in 2021, France won in front of America and Germany. The French team was made up of AZZARO Mathis, BOICHIS Adrien, GERAULT Lena, TOURNUT Tatiana, BURQUIER Line and SARROU Jordan. Italy finished in 4th place.

ITALIAN TRAINING

The definitive entry list of Team Relay has not yet been published but we know the formation of Italy. The CT Celestino He declares: “There will be Luca Braidot, who did not participate in the European Championships precisely to devote all his energies to the two world races of Team Relay and XCO. Together with him the expert Martina Berta, the European U23 bronze medalist Giada Specia, the young Valentina Corvi, the U23 continental champion Simone Avondetto and the Italian XCO champion Marco Betteo ". The training is excellent and we can be a gold medal given the many individuals present in the team.

The other nations to keep an eye on are always the same: France, Germany and Switzerland. America surprised last year but also this year could get an excellent result, given the many athletes in shape currently.

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').
