2024 UCI Mountain Bike World Championships 2024
Leaving the best for last? That may be a cliché but at this year’s World Mountain Bike Championships that was definitely the case – in both the Elite XCO and Downhill races.
At the front, it would seem as though the South African was giving Koretzky a free tow to the line, and indeed he did attack in the closing stages. However, Hatherly knew it was coming and countered the move, leaving him eating his dust and choking on lactic acid. Hatherly was absolutely on fire, while Koretzky’s fire was on its last embers and Pidcock just didn’t seem to be on his best day.
Britain’s Evie Richards finished back in sixth spot and PFP was down in 11th place, not the way she hoped to end her top-fight MTB career.The Women’s U23 XCO race was run off simultaneously with the Elite race, and what an incredible ride it was by the young Canadian Isabella Holmgren, to not only take victory in her age category but to finish fifth place overall , showing a dusty pair of heels to the best in the business. This is a rider who is surely destined for even more greatness.
The men’s race was also a real nail-biter, which was oh so closely fought out. The French took the rare reins from the off, and while Britain’s Tom Pidcock ploughed his way back through the field after a slow start, a slip-out was to ultimately put him out of medal contention. At such high speeds, this was always going to be a tight race and one with no room for error. Midfield and it was former double World Champion Danny Hart of the UK who took the hot seat, having taken time on the lower section of the course – and being the first, and one of the few riders who managed that.
