Mountain Bike Cycling 2022 - 2023 Dicussion Thread


Recommended Posts

UCI has announced the World Cup calendar for next year (hence this thread instead of the 2022 thread), and I've rarely been so excited about a piece of MTB news :yikes: 

 

The cross-country will start in.....Valkenburg :NED:hyper::hyper:  We are going to book our hotel soon I think :d

It's a bit of a consolation for losing Red Bull as main partner, let's hope it will at least be just as easy to watch everything as it has been for years thanks to Red Bull.

So the Leiden bid to stage a Mountain Bike WC race went the same way as the Alpine Skiing bid, huh?  :nopompom:

Massive news, Mathias Flückiger of Switzerland - silver medal winner at the Tokyo Olympics and last season's World Cup winner - has tested positive for zeranol and is provisionally suspended :yikes:

Still on the start list for today's European championships, but yeah...that ain't happening I assume.

So yeah, European mountainbike XCO championships have gone, and weren't too interesting. Thomas Pidcock was way better than the rest in the men's race, Pauline Ferrand Prevot dominated the women's race until some mechanical trouble threw her back to silver, way behind Loane Lecomte, and that never became a real fight. Only fight was for bronze, with Anne Terpstra dropping Jolanda Neff eventually.

 

Also the track was utterly awful, only yesterday's rain provided a bit of interesting stuff. The women even avoided 95% of the already terrible fake rocks.

    • Record crowds for this weekend, according to the British Comms so well done  les bouffe-grenouilles!   Jeanmonnot has ice water in her veins, not giving anything away.   Minkinnen up to second!   That' s the win for , second for & a four-way fight for third!   Wierer takes it!   Top  only 12th, dear oh dear.
    • Suspect strongly that the Sultan of  is behind Global Wushu!     Another one is long distance & ultra triathlon.  There are literally millions being paid out in prize money to attract big name athletes from several sports, huge FTA TV coverage but seemingly no prospect of any profit.   And the classic is obstacle racing, which has effectively bought up the ownership of Modern Pentathlon.
    • apparently the Japanese organizers rejected OCA's nice request    now OCA is ordering them to do so in a not-so-nice language https://oca.asia/media/attachments/memberships_subcommittee/5/Decision_-_103rd_OCA_EB_Meeting_5ypY8y4.pdf   the last line is very interesting   I knew this for a while, for example that's why Jujjtsu is included in all of OCA events (despite being the worst sport to watch) but good to see OCA admit this. so with the corrupt OCA you can buy your way in. how much they paid the OCA officials for this ?   OK I know Qatar is financially supporting Padel (and UAE is paying everything for Jujitsu) but who is behind Teqball?  ! I don't think Thailand can do that. 
    • Important information on team Aerials.   There is no AIN`s team at the start list of the world cup despite of the fact that belorussians have enough athletes to have a team.   https://medias4.fis-ski.com/pdf/2026/FS/8119/2026FS8119SLF1.pdf
    • By the way. It looks like no AIN`s will be in biathlon by the start of the Olympics. Russians filed an appeal to CAS to get AIN statuses in biathlon. But IBU did not agree to have hearings with short procedure. So the decisons are not expected before the end of qulifying period. (FIS could do the same but its top-officials prefer to help russians be back as quick as possible).   I would like to see Dolidovich at the Games. Because she is a real refugee of the relatively high level.
