UCI MTB World Series 2023 (EWS, DHI, XC World Cups).
The start of a new era for MTB racing, with Discovery/ ESO Sports taking everything 'in house' and running the entire show, similar to many motorsport series.
It all kicks off this weekend with the first round of what was the EWS, but is now known as Enduro World Cup, in Tasmania. No live coverage for Enduro, but highlights on You Tube:

The comment sections is pure entertainment. The amount of people who are completely unable to read something correctly still astounds me.1 -
Yeah, Pinkbike is always like this....
Trying to explain that the sport isn't growing, and needs more 'outside' money is hopeless. They seem to want it to be a hobby for riders.....All Road/ Gravel: tbcWinter: tbcMTB: tbcRoad: tbc"Look at the time...." "he's fallen like an old lady on a cruise ship..."0 -

One week out from the first XC World Cup, and there's a 'mini World Cup' today in Chur, Switzerland; the OKK Revolution Series.

Some good racing on an interesting course. Going by the interview, it took Tom a while to get used to shorter, explosive racing - but hung on and attacked on the last climb to win well.
Evie was rather impressive; when she's on a good day, she's brilliant - after last season's problems she looks well in form for a successful season.All Road/ Gravel: tbcWinter: tbcMTB: tbcRoad: tbc"Look at the time...." "he's fallen like an old lady on a cruise ship..."1 -
XC season kicks off this evening, with the new U23 Short Track. Sadly it doesn't look like it was covered live. A bit of a shame.

I don't usually like the short track races too much but thought they were good today.“You may think that; I couldn’t possibly comment!”

The first two weren't originally down to ride; and got late call ups.

Always happy to see TomP win but even happier to see a good ride from Evie after her injury/sickness issues last year.0

What a strange race. It was like a 4th cat car park crit."Unfortunately these days a lot of people don’t understand the real quality of a bike" Ernesto Colnago0

No, she's never won a CX World Cup; 3rd is her best result. Similarly, Neff has two out of three, with a 2nd her best in a CX World Cup.All Road/ Gravel: tbcWinter: tbcMTB: tbcRoad: tbc"Look at the time...." "he's fallen like an old lady on a cruise ship..."0

Yes, I mentioned her along with MvdP. PFP has never won a CX World Cup (but has won CX Worlds).webboo said:

I'm not sure the latest version of the Nove Mesto XCC track is the best one; they've had 3-4 different versions of it.
