Team Announcement for XCO World Champs – Nové Mēsto (CZE)

[Danger Dassie]

I thought I heard them saying on SuperCycling the other night that there will be no uncertainty this time around as everyone is aware of what the qualifying criteria will be.

 

Meintjes and Impey announced today.

 

Yes but no announcement has been made yet by CSA, other than track, marathon, xco and BMX.

Road, DHI and Rio yet to be announced. 

 

As far as uncertainty goes on selection, well we've seen how that's worked for XCM and XCO Worlds. 

 

Very likely no SA representation at Marathon Worlds unfortunately, as Robyn's prognosis from her crash at Monster isn't good. Long period of recovery due  

 

Not great news...a minor setback...Diagnosis = AC Joint separation & proximal humeral fracture  #slings'nthings pic.twitter.com/xyxwc2aw7k

Road announced by SASCOC earlier today.

Is that official?

 

Do you know on what basis did James Reid miss out?

 

Good for Phil and Alan, but in my mind sad for James. 

 

According to the criteria thats it as far as I know. Who knows though this is CSA.

Lol

 

Yeah I posted the link to the article. . But no one noticed [emoji23] [emoji23]

 

Think it is a long shot for Peter.. doubt they will give him a wildcard, and if they do he would have to do some serious xco training. . Suppose 4th at his last xco race after 7 years away from the discipline isn't all bad.[emoji12] it would draw even more people to the course.

Get in there and give her some kudos and much needed support. She will be racing the World cup XCO in La Bresse, France this weekend.
