:GBR Squad Announced: Mountain Bike World Championships: Tom Pidcock, Rachel Atherton and Evie Richards in British squad - BBC Sport

 

Men: Tom Pidcock, Cameron Orr, Cameron Mason 

 

Women: Evie Richards, Annie Last, Isla Short

 

With Pidcock also appearing on the long list for the Road events, will be interesting to see if he attempts the double - theoretically the schedule would allow it with the elite road race taking place on Sunday 6th and the short track MTB on Tuesday 8th followed by elite cross country on Saturday 12th

Apparently the plan for :HUN Vas is to win the Olympic quota here in the U23 race. She is planning to race in MB in Paris, not in Road. But she will still appear in some road races in the 2024 season.

 

Btw, she is now the reigning Hungarian champion in the road race, the road TT, mountain bike and cyclocross. She has managed to win everything this year. :d

 

Just wondering, would it be possible for her or for anyone to race in both MB and Road at the Games? Has anyone done that in cycling @heywoodu?

well, technically it's possible to qualify in all cycling disciplines

 

among the women, it's quite normal to find girls who are very strong in more than 1 discipline...the best example is :FRA Pauline Ferrand Prevot, who was world champion on the road, in mtb xco and cyclo-cross between 2014 and 2015, when she used to switch between the various events like we change our socks

 

the Paris schedule I think leaves enough space between mtb xco and road race to start in both events, if someone is so brave and strong to make that effort

No idea about qualifying pathways and such, but in terms of quality Vas would definitely be able to do so. It's of course significantly harder in the men's events, but even there it wouldn't be impossible for the likes of Pidcock or Van der Poel (but probably doing both would be bad for their chances in both, whereas combining them in a strong way might be a bit 'easier' for the women).

 

It's still not super common though, but Ferrand Prevot, Vas, Rissveds and surely some others would at least be capable of competing in both at the Olympics.

Okay, that's what I assumed. I think Vas will stay in MB for the Games and the Worlds in the future. She will never get any helpful Hungarian teammates for the road, so MB will always be the more probable medal chance for her.

That would definitely be the wisest decision, I would say :p 

 

She's good on the road, but like you said: no Hungarian teammates, whereas in the regular races she is in the team that is a gazillion times stronger than any women's team has ever been basically, so plenty of good teammates there :d

Couldn't Sagan have decided to focus on MTB earlier to increase the ranking chance? I'm sure there is some reason why it wasn't possible, I presume his road team didn't allow him or something?

    • We had no real problems with russians for a long time. It was a normal sport rivalry. It was common case that statues of russian politicians and poets remained in place even in the Western Ukraine which was joined by the Soviet Union much later. Lyskun was pro-Ukrainian according to her statement but she kept conctcts with her former coach. That coach moved to russia earlier and could do some brainwashing. I would say that the coach may have financial motivation to do this. By the way we had similar case with Bondar from Luhansk who moved to russia in 2014. What is really interesting - russians have a lot of resources but it took them 4 yeats to find someone relatively well-known in sport area to stage this propaganda performance.       Yes, this web-site is active and maintained. The list is beeing updated. But it is not an official goverment resource and it is operated by the non-goverment organization. It was created to draw attention of the national security services to the activities of some people and provide some initial foundations for further formal investigations.
    • AIN's will skipped (they got American visa too late) 2nd WC stage (but their could compete in 3rd WC stage) and, therefore, their chances to got more than 1 entry in OG have become lower, especially,  if their will not allow to compete in Sigulda (but after their participation in Poland's short-track WT stage, I won't give 100% chances for that).   Maybe problem with entries will be solved by itself)
    • You prefer matches in USA , look at that ...    Tourists to US would have to reveal five years of social media activity under new Trump plan to enter    https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/dec/10/tourists-social-media-trump
    • I would say - he did not share some part of "the profit" with someone from above )
    • Yeah, a complete failure all around. Only two individual quotas for men and two for women + mixed relay. Cortina looks like a big fat zero in the medal table tbh.
    • But yeah, as you said, their intention (if I have to guess) probably is to prevent Pan America from having 3 teams without going through the world oqt.  They were generous with the world cup qualification because it's in europe and with 16 teams but they won't be as much with their prime event.   Anyway, this doc is terribly written and could bring problems without an update.
    • IDK this seems like a big mistake on their part. They should have excluded Pan America from the first clause.    And also shoulda clarify if "highest placed" in the second statement means only champion or "highest placed not counting possible pro league qualified teams".     
    • Thank god that Continental Cup is gone, it was impossible to find results in early rounds
    • From my experience it is better to go by what they intended rather than what was written. The point being is that should the United States be in a position to take the Pan American quota, the quota will be reallocated to the world qualifiers.   It can be a bit frustrating, but these documents aren't exactly written to define what happens in every scenario, even though they should. If someone from the IOC/sport federations are here, I'd love to proof read your documents . 
    • Team Casper is headed to Milan-Cortina!!   Lots of misses by China throughout the match, some of which were just bad luck.  Thrilled for Danny and company.  Glad they don't have to play another game
