nigelhicks Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 just FYI - if you win the World Cup - you get a trophy, that is all - and then you ride with the Number 1 plate the following years first round ... If you win the World Champs (as OM said) you get to wear a sweet rainbow jersey for an entire year!!! Its a big deal. Once off, give it your all, race (both in XC and DH) where you pedal till you puke because 2nd is just the first looser!
kosmonooit Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 I get the impression that the World Champ event attracts a much bigger field than a World Cup event - because the competing countries select and send full teams.
