(google translate)This weekend again with the World Cup stage in Nove Mesto 'Na Moravian' in the Czech Republic, the land of Kulhavy Jaroslav (Specialized), who dominated last year. The favorites are all there with the addition of the McConnel Daniel (Trek) that has impressed many in the first test of the World Cup. After a very steady in 2012 at the World Cup behind the first 20 (with a 19 ° in Stage 5), in 2013 this occurred very competitive winning the Games Oceanic and indeed the first step in Albstadt Cup. Even Martin Fanger (BMC) will be a special observed.
The Australian, however, will have to contend with the giants of the discipline as Schurter Nino (Scott), which seeks a speedy redemption, Jaroslav Kulhavy and Julien Absalon, perhaps the most in shape right now but unlucky in the first stage. But the names are many like Fabian Giger, always present, Lukas Fluckiger, now ready for a "big" win, the expert Jose Hermida, Marco Fontana, although always among the first in the 1st stage has not shone as he wanted, Maxime Marotte and Sergio Mantecon. We think that the winner can come out of these names but the MTB reserves big surprises so nothing is taken for granted. Let's see if Mathias Fluckiger will be able to keep a high pace throughout the race, as well as Max Plaxton and Thomas Litscher, authors of two good races now start with a lower starting number.
In the women's side with the underdogs Lechner Eva (Colnago South Tyrol), after the great race of Albstadt. Behind her, a number of athletes ready to do well and are in a position to win, as the 2 athletes of the Giant Off Road Team Wloszczowska Maja and Neff Jolanda (Giant Offroad Team), Tanja Zakelj (Unior Tools) and the duo Ghost Factory Alexandra Engen and Katrin Leumann. Call to redeem for Gunn-Rita Dahle (Multivan Merida), that we will understand if Germany was a bad day or is not yet in top form, and the 2011 world champion Catherine Pendrel. Other athletes can say they are Emili Batty (Trek), Adelheid Morath (Haibike Team) and Irina Kalentieva (Ergon).
Stops for number one in UCI Ranking Spitz Sabine (Haibike Pro Team), crashing during the track's test of Albstadt and forced to a forced stop for about 1 month. Vos Marianne doesn't start. Here below all the details for the event (by clicking like on our Facebook page will be updated in real time).
