In the elite cross country races expect to see many of the big names who just recently fought for gold at the Paris Olympics in both the short track and Olympic distance.
Last year’s short track winners Sam Gaze from New Zealand and France's Pauline Ferrand-Prévot will be keen to double up in this explosive discipline. In the longer XCO distance Olympic champion and reigning men’s World Champion Tom Pidcock will be favourite to retain his title but could Sam Gaze or Victor Koretzky who was so narrowly beaten in Paris prevent him?
In the women’s cross country all eyes will once more be on the overwhelming favourite Pauline Ferrand-Prévot in what is her last year riding MTB’s or can Britain’s Evie Richards or Dutch sensation Puck Pieterse, fresh for riding the Tour de France de Femmes take her crown.
On the fast, dry track at Pal Arinsal, Valentina Höll (Austria) won her third successive title, and Loris Vergier (France) was the fastest of the men’s field to take the downhill gold medals which just leaves the cross country to be decided today.
Overwhelming favourites in the men’s and women’s will be the current Olympic champions Tom Pidcock and Pauline Ferrand-Prévot but due to it’s nature the races can always throw up a surprise.

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, NordVPN is our favorite.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance if you're visiting the U.S. and want to view your usual Australian service, you'd select Australia from the list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to SBS or another streaming service and watch the action.
