MTB World Cup 2022 WE – 11 – Val di Sole – DHI
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 race was a nail-biting conclusion to the 2022 season as Myriam Nicole put down an incredible run to take the win by just over four seconds. Nina Hoffmann ends her season on a high with second place ahead of Vali Höll in third. Camille Balanche managed what seemed impossible after Mont-Sainte-Anne to take the overall World Cup win.
