Sam is reigning world champ so automatically qualifies by default

Congratulations guys...and good luck !

 

[Rendog]

Yeah Leonie!!

 

[DVS969]

No Women in 4X, I thought Buchanan would be racing again since she won last year.

 

[Incontinent]

Way to go Team.... and good luck to you all.

 

[Scott]

Pity we can't have Troy race junior and elite...

Nice to see some young(ish) guns in the elite men's DH. Are we seeing a changing of the gaurd?

 

[mikewainman]

Why no Mitch Delfs?? Minus the hand injury he's having a great year.

 

[Dozer]

Sam Hill's in? And no Jongewaard?

That's a win for Australia right there!
This junior team will make up the elite team in a few years time. Our future is bright!
Good luck y'all.

Are 2 riders the maximum for Elite mens XC? If Australian riders are being made to fund their complete trips why not fill all available positions?

 

[benhenderson]

Interesting question...

 

[Australia]

I am disappointed not to see Chirs Jongeward not representing Australia again, he is a machine.

According to MTBA Jongewaard is in:

The most recent release from MTBA has Jongeward in. He wasn't in the pre-announcement.
