Nah. Way too many gravy train fatties to accomodate with free lodging and spending money

“It’s all about one day. All about one and a half hours...The tactics I will decide during the race. You can lose the race in the start, but it could be good. Maybe if I am lucky, and I can go to the front pretty fast. Maybe I will waste too much energy. The Tour de France has nothing to do with mountain biking. For sure, the road race, it’s a completely different effort. You cannot compare it to time trial. It’s more like cyclocross. Mountain bike is something different. I did my best in training. I will do my best Sunday. No one knows what the hell to expect. Maybe it’s more funny... I am not here to lose. Can I win? If I lose, I am not disappointed. If I win, it’s so good. I’m here for a result.”

Nope that was the race he did in Austria I think.

 

 

Note the forest and lack of orange-yellow yellow-orange bike. And also in Tinkoff kit and not Slovak kit[emoji6]

 

 

But he is in Rio and he is checking out the course[emoji16]

Believe this was for the women only and was announced 1 July at the games, so in all likelihood there wasn't any ladies present to race. Doubt it would be Ashleigh or An-Li wanting to race the XCO or even have MTBs as they were there for the road race.

 

It's not unusual for berths to open up due to nations pulling out or whichever reason. That's how Dan Craven ended up riding the time trial event. Great Britain didn't even qualify to send a single rider for the MTB event, but managed to get a rider in under similar circumstances at the last minute.
