Is it common to have so many national jerseys on the line ? Isn’t it the first time Sofia is here ?

edit: mmm okay, seing the classification now I might have gotten carried away when I saw a few team in a row starting with beautiful national kits 😎

Sofia raced last year.

Twenty years ago I was on the start line with Andre du Plessis. We're still friends even after swearing at each other on stage 4. Ok I did the swearing. Looking at this race I see  Mittenwaller suffered a bit. Happens if you don't want to rest a bit in the week leading up to the event. Would've loved to see Miller and Beers in a team. Would have a better chance according to some in the know. And in Olympic years we usually have less top xco riders interested. I know of a few teams definitely coming next year that's focusing on Olympics this year

This is actually her 4the start. She finished solo as survivor of mixed team in 2021 before winning the ladies in 22 with Haley Batten

Wow, i only know her now because her name keeps being thrown in the bonk bros podcast as the one who wins all the races in the US, I never noticed her before at Epic. Let’s see how it goes, hopefully 4 teams battling it out, but yeah, from the prologue’s results looks more like 3 at best like you said. 
Would’ve been nice to see Pauline come again, with a worthy teammate 😕

Yeah it's gonna be a great week of riding 😎 Matt is always great to watch 🤌🏼🤌🏼

.

Also, interesting to see David Higgs paired up with Daryl Impey - is that the ProAm of MTB stage racing? I know David is an excellent roadie but haven't really seen him on a MTB?
