Nino Schurter Announces Lenzerheide Will be His Final World Cup Race
I've been racing XC MTB for 25 years now and Nino has always been inspiration and motivation for me to keep hammering and training and getting to the start line with expectations of mixing it up at the top end of the race. Somehow with him retiring and being the same age as him it feels like I'm going into the unknown with racing. My time for change is near and it's been fun being competitive during the prime of my athletic life and next is something different and much more aches and pains....haha. Cheers to you Nino and everyone else chasing their potential and keeping XC racing alive in a world of gravel and enduro.

Who Are the 2024 XC World Cup Series Winners?
Looking forward to next year as a non-Olympic year. Racing this year seemed all out of sorts with Paris as such a main focus. It will be nice to see athletes focusing on all the WC races again. Also, have I heard rumors that MVDP is looking to give the MTB rainbows another shot? And Pidcock moving focus back over to road again??? Can anyone confirm?
