I just hope that he doesn't replace that cross-country specialist who has been chasing Olympic points for the last two years. That would seem unfair. no the quota will be used by one of our 2 specialsts, it´s also explained in the slovakian article that the quota will go for one of Michal Lami or Martin Haring. but we asked UCI for a special wild card for Peter Sagan to compete also in MTB. this has nothing to do with our quota.

Agger 1,576 Posted May 25, 2016 #36 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Great that our good season has given a quota for the men as well. Will be interesting who they send. Our huge talent, Simon Andreassen or Sebastian Fini who's slighlty more experienced (but still young) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just the list of nations that qualified. NOCs have to confirm their quotas by June 15. We might see few more declined quotas, for example Sweden declining men's quota like they did in 2012. Meanwhile, mountain bike is pretty much the easiest African qualification path for South Africa (along with field hockey perhaps). I'm pretty sure that they won't accept it.
