Beware of Mathieu Van De Poel who he had declared that he wanted to take part in both the road world championships and the MTB world championships: let's see if he'll keep his word.


DOWNHILL

Thursday 3 August – Qualifying
Friday 4th August – Qualifying & Finals
Saturday 5 August – Finals

The Fort William route is one of the most historic: there will be a lot to relaunch given that the track is not as steep as other tracks but we find it so natural and guided. It extends for 2,8 km in length with a vertical drop of 550m.

MARATHON

Sunday August 6 2023

The Marathon is a specialty that can reserve surprises: the details of the route are not yet known but we understand that it could be a route suitable for powerful athletes as there are no very high peaks in Scotland.

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').
