Henrique Avancini Skipping Round 3 & 4 of the XC World Cup
Henrique Avancini had his best-ever World Cup opener with a 4th in Albstadt before posting his worst result in the past four years in Nove Mesto, missing the top-20 with a 23rd spot. When Red Bull interviewed Avancini for the Albstadt pre-show , it sounded like his pre-season preparation didn't go as smoothly as he would have liked and he said "I wouldn't say it was my best pre-season, but we managed to get here in a decent shape. Not in the best shape ever. Not in a really great space mentally speaking, but I feel like I'm on the right path now, just a few steps behind but it's easy to catch up. "
Now, the Brazilian says that he will be skipping both Leogang this weekend and Les Gets the first week of July in order to better prepare for the Olympic Games.
 | No World Cups 3 and 4 for me. After considering with my team, partners and people involved on my preparation, I won’t be racing the next stages of the World Cup considering travel logistics, quarantine, vaccination and my training quality. I’m pretty confident that is the best call, and I trust we gonna do a great working aiming a great performance at Olympic Games. Thanks for the support of everyone involved. Now, let’s do the work. See you in Japan! |
We wish Avancini the best of luck with his preparation.

Probably a smart choice, especially with how much everyone is getting injured lately. Good luck at Tokyo!

Yeah plus it appears many of the riders definitely want to peak for the Olympics.
