The Cross Country races, both U28 and Elite, start on Sunday 23 August: let's find out the favourites in the Under23 categories.

The Italians have good chances in both men and women: in the men we have the duo Filippo Fontana and Simone Avondetto (reigning European U23 champion) who can play the rainbow jersey, always martin vidaurre permitting. In fact, the Chilean phenomenon has shown an embarrassing superiority in some situations. Beware of the Swiss army made up of Luca Schatti, Janis Baumann and Simon Walter. Spaniard David Campos and Cater Woods will also be in the game.

Among women, Giada Specia (Wilier Pirelli) and Sara Cortinovis (Santa Cruz FSA) have always proved to be at the level of the best under23 internationally, rarely coming out of the top 10. We hope for a day of grace for these athletes.

U23 ENROLLMENT LIST

LIVE U23 RACE

On Rai Sport, channel 58 of digital terrestrial, we could see both women and men U23. We remind you that Raisport can also be watched on the web (free of charge upon registration) on the site Raiplay.

Another option is the website of theteam (in French) via free live web: LIVE LINK. It only accepts users from France so you have to use a VPN to get around that limitation.

Another channel where you can follow the race will be Eurosport which will broadcast everything through Eurosport Player (paid streaming platform).

On RedBull.TV, in Italy, it will not be possible to see the World Cup due to territorial restrictions. However, if you are using a VPN, it is possible to circumvent this limitation. TO this link the event page with the nations allowed to view.

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').
