Dirty Talk Worldcup Preview

Dirty Talk Preview

Cross Country World Cup race number two is coming up this weekend. The course in Araxá looks challenging and natural, which is something the Swiss riders already like. After last weekend provided various surprises, they have probably been able to get used to the conditions and the climate by now.

 

Lukas Flückiger is team boss at the BiXS Performance Race Team. He is the man on the race course and behind the scenes.

A lot has happened in Mairiporã, especially from a Swiss perspective. The change from the cold Swiss winter to the warm and humid start to the World Cup season has affected many riders. For example, the last Dirty Talk guest, Marcel Guerrini, has already left due to illness. What influence did this climate change have on the surprising Swiss results? The usual top names were suddenly in the midfield, while less familiar faces were way out in front. Lukas was there and observed closely.

For race number two, at least the country has remained the same, the World Cup&nbspteam remains in Brazil. However, the track, the ground and the climatic conditions have changed. Remember, Brazil is more than 200 times the size of Switzerland in terms of area, and the distance from the first race to Araxá is at least seven hours by car. Who has what chances? Will there be another change in the Swiss stable order or will we return to the usual ranking? Will the pressure from last weekend help or will it even block us mentally? Lukas and Dario take a look into the future
