UCI XCO World Cup 2022 Season

[babse]

Absolute dominant display by T2... 

 

I hope AH just needs some rest. He looks flat after this intense racing block... Really hope he comes back with his early season form for Worlds and the final round.

Where did Luca come from 😵

that's how you win a race, ride your own race & not respond to attacks that will just sap your energy. If it wasnt for that narrow rocky section where everyone nearly had to push through I guess he could've been better positioned.

The blurb talks about the "commercialization" of mountain biking. Isn't that what we all moan about here all the time? I suspect that this may mean less coverage that actual enthusiasts will enjoy and more ra ra for the masses. Lets see...

Am I missing something? No Fort William this year? Or has it been dropped from the World Cup circuit because the world champs is being hosted there next year?

It wasn't on the calendar for 2022. Contract expired.

XCO world Chaps is at Glentress is 2023. Pity its not Fort William too because they have a stunning course there

or was that the F1 I'm thinking about

Any idea what their subscription options are ... took a look now and could not find anything, tried to register and they show an error

The service is supposed to be global. It only launches sometime in early 2023 after the RedBull contact expires

It's most likely going to be shown on supersport anyway just like this year. They license the feed from red bull now, they will probably do the same with discovery.
