(google translate)Just a few days at the start of the Mountain Bike World Championship 2013, which will take place in Pietermaritzurb, South Africa, the continent of the late Burry Stander that I had marked on the calendar as its main objective.
The races will start XC since Thursday, August 29 with the junior categories and then move on to the U23 final on Friday and, with the Elite, on Saturday. Finally Sunday we will be the world's XCE with Naef Ralph (BMC) in recovery that maybe he can tell her to defend the jersey won last year.
In the Elite men's field is expected once again a duel between Absalon Julien (BMC) and Schurter Nino (Swisspower) which have been shown to have something more than their opponents but it is certain that if you do not have a positive day there will be many opponents ready to beat them.
In the women's race is very open with expert Spitz Sabine (Haibike) and Dahle Flesja Gunn-Rita (Multivan Merida) that have been shown to still have something to give to the sport and certainly their experience will help.
Here are the departure times according to the South African time zone.
