PROGRAM

First up for grabs will be the Cross Country riders, who will kick off with the usual short track on Friday evening, before lining up again on Sunday for the XCO. In the women's race, few would bet against Pauline Ferrand-Prevot (Ineos Grenadiers) after her dominant performance at Glentress saw her reclaim both the UCI titles Cross-country Olympic (XCO) is UCI Cross-country Short Track (XCC). However, it is Puck Pieterse (Alpecin-Decuninck) who leads the current UCI XCO World Cup standings.

In the men's competition, Nino Schurter (Scott-SRAM MTB Racing Team) remains the man to beat in XCO, leading the standings by over 100 points, ahead of Frenchman Jordan Sarrou (Team BMC) in second and Alan Hatherley (Cannondale Factory Racing) in third . In the XCC classification, Luca Schwarzbauer (Canyon CLLCTV) dominates the specialty.

Written by

[email protected] I am a fan of everything that has 2 wheels: at a young age I practiced road and track cycling (Italian Allievi champion). At the age of 18 I passed into the cross country competing at national/international level as an Under23. Past Elite, I made the choice to take things more lightly from a training point of view, and my love for gravity disciplines was born, training me as an FCI MTB instructor and guide. Now I have made passion my profession by managing 2 MTB centers on the island of Elba (Bike Center Elba and 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').
