First world cup of the season just finished in beautiful  Petropolis!

 

Women:

1.  McConnell

2.  Terpstra

3.  Lecomte

 

Men:

1.  Schurter

2.  Marotte

3.  Dascalu

 

Huge win for Schurter who finally equals Absalon's world cup wins record.

 

Austrian talent Mitterwallner made her senior debut with a 5th place in the womens race, after dominating all the u23 world cups last year.

And a rather dramatic race for Avancini, who had his sights set on this for years, one can assume. Started out well, but dropped far behind at the end.

Second world cup in  Albstadt today.

 

Men:

 Thomas Pidcock

 Nino Schurter

 Vlad Dascalu

 

Women:

 Rebecca McConnell

 Jenny Rissveds

 Mona Mitterwallner

 

We don't have any Austrians on the forum do we? I don't think Austria has many medal chances in the summer Olympics, but they might get one in the mountainbike womens race. They've got two great young riders with Mitterwallner (20 yo) and Stigger (21 yo).

Top ten for  Ulloa 

[Jinzha 703]

Third world cup  Nove Mesto and third victory for  Rebecca McConnell.

 

Women:

1.  Rebbeca McConnell

2.  Loana Lecomte

3.  Jenny Rissveds

 

Men:

1.  Thomas Pidcock

2.  Vlad Dascalu

3.  Nino Schurter

 

Nearly the same top 3s as last week, it's clear right now that McConnell and Pidcock are in the best form.

World cup in  Leogang this weekend:

 

Women:

1.  Leona Lecomte

2.  Jenny Rissveds

3.  Laura Stigger

 

Men:

1.  Mathias Flückiger

2.  Nino Schurter

3.  Alan Hatherly

 

 

Jenny Rissveds really is back at the top level this season with another podium finish!

Looks like Pidcock wasn't there on the mens side.

No idea how old this is, but since by coincidence I picked it up from the Dutch commentator today: apparently Red Bull will stop with the production and it's affiliation with MTB after this year  

 

Discovery will take over, although it's still entirely unsure what will happen with the TV rights and such. And somehow I highly doubt we'll get the same commentators. Plus I wonder if downhill will keep playing a role, or if that not being Olympic means they'll break downhill's neck.

well, if Discovery takes over, I guess we'll see all the competitions on Discovery Plus/Eurosport Player...

unfortunately, it means it won't be a free stream anymore, which is what happened to Sports Climbing this year...

and looking at that, I think the commentators will be the same (provided they find an agreement with the new owner of the tv rights), as it happened to Sports Climbing after switching from Youtube coverage (at least here in Europe)...

 

for what concerns the Downhill discipline, I really hope they won't break its neck, I love it (and I love the landscape where it's held)...

maybe I'm a bit optimist, but there's also a chance we get an improvement in the coverage (more riders and their full race instead of what's on offer right now with Red Bull TV), if it stays in the UCI's calendar of events...
