UCI XCO World Cup 2019 Season

[Stretch]

I recon Rissveds would have been competitive for the win if she didn't flat

 

Great racing all round. Sorry for Neff... But there's got to be a winner... And Courtney came right at just the right time

[Stretch]

Any chance of KC taking the win this weekend?....I doubt it

Guess I was wrong.. But after seeing Neff battling on Friday night...I knew I had an idea I was wrong

[Robbie Stewart]

Well done Kate and Pauline. Miffed for Jenny Rissveds. And how did Annika Langvad drop off the radar so quickly?

She broke her hand in June

She broke her hand in June

Ah, that explains it, thanks. Well done to her for being back so soon.

[kosmonooit]

Even before that at the two first rounds she was missing something, more a headspace thing it seems, I would be surprised if she found her way back to the front row, but could be wrong.

Great win by Vorster

 

Great to see Nino cheering for him also so ferociously

[TheJ]

Quite clear Nino gave that win to Lars for his help in closing Avencini down.

Huh.. What would nino gain in chasing him down to not win? Nino wants that win badly to tie with Absalon... He was spent after that chase and Lars won that fair and square

[Headshot]

The pace was furious! Was hoping Neff would stage a come back and catch Courtney. Was great to have a bit of a dice at the front of the men's race for a change too. I wonder when Avencini will finally manage to beat Nino.

[BlinkFan]

I was so bummed for Manual! Would have liked to see a tussle with the old man in there! Timing for that attack was just a bit off.

[tinmug]

Neff off (her usual pace), KC wavering, Batty nowhere, Langvad cruising ... part of long-term prep for Olympics perhaps? Can it be?

 

Where did Hatherly finish in the end? Is Spez XC likely to continue next year?

 

It's been a weird season.

If he keeps to his current trajectory somehere around the third race of the 2020 season, depending on the course.

He needs to work on his climbing. Looses too much on the big climbs after halfdistance

[DieselnDust]

She broke her hand in June

 

 

She was off the boil before she injured her hand. That injury just sealed what was shaping up to be a difficult season

[Odinson]

Women's racing was amazing once again. So happy PFP took the win! 

 

I was hoping Neff would be able to take the overall, but Courtney did what she needed to do. 

 

I really hope that Neff can figure out a proper race strategy for 2020. Going H-bomb on the first lap is not how you win races. Either way, 2020 is going to be a killer season. Now the long wait starts.

.

I think don't underestimate what Courtney did to take the overall. She had to do a whole lot more than just beat Neff.. And when Neff went hell for leather in the first lap.. She had to match that. maintaining 5th place showed a fair bit of grit determination and mental strength
