I see on UCI site that there will be "Elite - Cross-country Olympic" races already tomorrow.

Expand  

The saturday races are the U23 races. I'll be watching for  Fem van Empel (u23 cyclocross world champion) and  Puck Pieterse (former junior and U23 cyclocross european champion)

 

Edit: looks like Phelps beat me by seconds!

They technically count, but it's only like 10% of points compared to the Olympic distance race. They're mostly important for starting positions in the long course next sunday if I understand correctly.

they also count for the World Cup standings...

 

so, they might not be decisive for the OQR, but for those aiming to win the World Cup they're very important...

no, tomorrow it's the Under-23 races...the senior events are on Sunday (11 a.m. the girls, 2.15 pm. the men)...

Expand  

So, something could be changed or calendar is just wrong

I know that the Olympic ranking stops on the 16th after the world cup in the czech republic

Any chance for Greece to make it? We competed in this event in London and Rio. It would be a shame to not qualify for Tokyo. We were in qualification position before the pandemic but now our ranking fell a lot in the past year

It says here we are 30th in cross-country ranking men elite nation ranking. Is there a separate Olympic ranking that you can show me? Thank you.
