Nick Posted May 22, 2016 Posted May 22, 2016 So it's round 2 of the XCO World Cup today. The women elites ride at 11am and the men elites at 2pm. There's a decent South African showing at this round. Anyone found the confirmed start list. Seems to be too well hidden for me on the UCI website this year.

Nick Posted May 22, 2016 Author Posted May 22, 2016 If you want to keep track of the SA riders, live timing here: http://www.tissottiming.com/Competition?id=00030D0102FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF&sport=CY&year=2016 Mariske and Cherie currently in 39th and 42nd.
Danger Dassie Posted May 22, 2016 Posted May 22, 2016 Yeah, been following the live timing. Works well, nice feature alongside the live broadcast on dstv and livestreaming on red bull.
Fisan Posted May 22, 2016 Posted May 22, 2016 Just joined from end of lap 4...glad to see Schurter / Absalon duo in lead... did I miss anything?
Gen Posted May 22, 2016 Posted May 22, 2016 Just joined from end of lap 4...glad to see Schurter / Absalon duo in lead... did I miss anything?Nope pretty much as it is.. Geiger went OTB.. had a flat and got a new wheel.. Now you are up to date.
Gen Posted May 22, 2016 Posted May 22, 2016 Wow.. what a race.. what a sprint finish.... Nino gets his first win on that course.
Fisan Posted May 22, 2016 Posted May 22, 2016 !%$@! What a last lap! Enough excitement to earn a Vitality smoothie. Joh.
kosmonooit Posted May 22, 2016 Posted May 22, 2016 Cool sportmanship by the Julian , I don't think he will ever be able to take El Nino in the sprint. These two are the top aces.
BaGearA Posted May 22, 2016 Posted May 22, 2016 did anyone see how much his bike flexed in that slow mo reply
Jaco-fiets Posted May 22, 2016 Posted May 22, 2016 Best finish in a XC race I have seen to date. Very happy to see Kulhavy back in top 5. Looks like Langvad has made the jump too.
kosmonooit Posted May 22, 2016 Posted May 22, 2016 Bummer the Blonde Bombshell was sick, and great ride from Jenny, I think we are going to see a lot of her on the podium.
Jaco-fiets Posted May 22, 2016 Posted May 22, 2016 Bummer the Blonde Bombshell was sick, and great ride from Jenny, I think we are going to see a lot of her on the podium.I really hope so!!!!! Imagine a regular podium with her and Batty
Danger Dassie Posted May 22, 2016 Posted May 22, 2016 What a race in both events. Encouraging to see how our riders are racing now, might not be the podium chasing that every sports fan likes to see, but SA is starting to show a presence in a few areas of the sport.Mixing it against some of the more established riders and nations, and by doing so paving the way for future champions as well as becoming more consistent.
