MTB World Cup 2021 – 5 – WE DHI – Maribor
The UCI Mountain Bike World Cup is a multi-round mountain bike racing series that is sanctioned by the Union Cycliste Internationale. The first World Cup series – which was composed of cross-country events – was held in 1989. The Downhill World Cup was inaugurated two years later, and the Dual Slalom World Cup was launched in 1998. The dual-slalom format – which involved knock-out heats with two riders on the parallel courses in each heat – evolved into four-cross (with four riders on a single course per heat) in 2002 before being dropped after the 2011 season. Riders win points according to their placing in each event. The reigning series leaders in each class are identified by a special jersey.
The Elite Women’s racing provided some incredible riding, with Myriam Nicole besting the tricky course. Eleonora Farina laid down a flat out run to take second place with a 1.322 second gap from the leader. Camille Balanche finished off the top three riders backing up a first and third place at the first two rounds this year. It was another tough day for Vali Höll. After qualifying first, she couldn’t find the top race pace and ends the day in sixth.
