Pidcock and Lecomte Make History in Nove Mesto | XCO Recap 2021

The Second round of the UCI Mountain Bike Cross-Country World Cup has shown that new faces have arrived to the scene and they are here to say. In the Women's field Loana Lecomte had a race of her own, winning by the biggest ever margin in a Cross-Country World Cup race in Nove Mesto na Morave. In the Men's race Tom Pidcock delivered a stellar performance, leaving everyone a full minute behind and became the first British male rider to win a World Cup race since 1994.

I'm genuinely intrigued as to how Red Bull has all this high quality up close footage from numerous cameras and none of it is used during the race coverage - still super grateful to be able to watch it at all though 😉

[@pakanaltv0000]

Because they put money and effort on this series

[@richardvimmerstedt2045]

Its Red Bull TV. This is all produced by Red Bull.

[@mstvir]

During actual event it is live streaming, aside from being it hard to switch between all the cams in real time, not all cameras are streaming live video. Also close ups you see are short clips of what would have been mostly crap footage if it was streamed live. So it makes sense to go over those footages in post production and select the short clips that actually add value or act like a B roll

[@hobmarg]

There are limits to what you can reasonably produce live, they can't have unlimited live cam feeds being worked on in the truck and some of this looks like it's super high end cameras which I doubt you can have bandwidth to broadcast back to the truck, process the video and stream it live to the web.

To be fair, the race just became harder for the old riders when the multi discipline lads come in

[@daveyoung6680]

The best coverage of an event I think I've ever seen. I never knew MTB racing was so exciting, Red Bull definitely helping to pique my interest, and of course Pidcock winning with such grace made it even better. The speed was a surprise... a fan from now on, everypne just seems to smile non stop

[@spicypretzel7616]

[@adamgaisser1875]

I feel Pidcock and Lecomte have the perfect build (small and super lightweight) to crush everyone on a course like this especially when it is wet. They also showed they had the bike handling skills to win. Congrats!!

[@xxxmtb]

I think on the mens side he doesnt have the right build, he is just simply a freak of nature. Pushing the power of of the top guys who are more like 66-70kg at 50kg is not normal, he probably weighs the same or less than some of the women.

[@slahudeenhussain5297]

@@xxxmtb he has the perfect build for MTB, what you on about?

[@Meme_supplier]

@@xxxmtb being lightweight on XC is perfect. you'll climb faster, your suspension will work better, and you'll be more agile on corners

[@hobmarg]

@@xxxmtb power to weight ratio is more important than outright power as I am sure you know. I don't follow XCO super close but there is always a lot of climbing on track which should favour smaller guys, same as road vs. TT.

[@Martijn_Poot]

@@Meme_supplier Partly true, for xc being light is quite good, especially climbing and more traction with the same tires. However suspension works better for heavier riders much easier to give suspension the right characteristics when the weight you are dealing with is higher.

Damn I've always loved watching dh but this is the first time I really watched xc and realized how interesting it is. Definitely excited to see what happens this season. I'd always heard Nino wins everything and it's just a race for 2-5th place. Now I'm curious.

[@mstvir]

Nino at his peak is a force to be reckoned with, however the man just turned 35, so obviously age is not helping, while MVP or Pidcock are very young, with Pidcock also has the weight advantage, coming in just 58 kilograms

[@hughbriz]

Great to see Tom getting his first of what I hope will be many WC wins! People who are suspicious of him 'coming from nowhere' to win have not been following his career progression including junior 'cross wins. Baby Giro anyone. He's been riding MTB his whole life and has the skills to prove it. One of the trickiest things he has had to do was probably persuading Ineos to let him race MTB instead of just road and 'cross.

[@fritsgerms3565]

mvdp might be a little too heavy for such steep and long climbs. With cycle cross he can punch up the short steep climbs, but not with MTB. I think he will need to drop some weight to get a better watt per kg (if there is anything to drop). It is a joy to watch him, because of his power and fantastic racing style (taking no prisoners). Pidcock is truly built for this sport.

[@andymiller3889]

Absolutely. XCO is all about W/kg and how well do you climb. It was not an accident that both of the winners were incredibly small riders. Some courses will be more advantageous for those with top wattage, and some will go the direction of the lightest, but over a season, top W/kg will win-out.

[@haddedoussama14]

MVDP is tall. I don't think he could drop any kilos. However, knowing that Pidcock is only 50 kilos is somehow insane!! I guess he has a better watt per kg ratio..

[@poeltlpower1880]

@@haddedoussama14 Just fyi, even though on the broadcast they've repeated that he's 50KG's he himself says he's 57-58KG's in a few different interviews now, which makes a lot more sense for a rider of his height. 50KG's at 1.7m would be truly skeletal. I'm guessing just like when people had his height at 1.57m, the 50KG weight probably came from numbers from when he was a junior.

[@dinispereira_]

For the same reason I think Pidcock will have to work really hard to win Paris Roubaix, he might be too short and not have enough watts.

[@haddedoussama14]

@@poeltlpower1880 Ngl, i just googled him and found his weight there. I was a bit suspicious, but couldn't confirm. It makes more sense now. He still kinda light..

[@haddedoussama14]

I think it's time for the multi disciplinary riders to take over. This is the new way of doing things. Focusing on one discipline is no more sufficient to win races.

[@davideamigoni6916]

It is not because they are multidisciplinary riders the reason why they win, it is the opposite: they are freak of nature and they can win in any discipline. What is changing is the approach among the disciplines and the fact that the International Teams are more and more accepting to let these incredible riders to enjoy in different disciplines. On the other hand, they could benefit from different techniques leaning more skills as well as to build a more complete organism racing long distance, GC in road racing, short but extremely intense effort during cyclocross races and then, but not last, in mountain biking.

[@haddedoussama14]

No restrictions. As a matter of fact, they can use 2.1 up to 2.3 or maybe more. I think the reason they don't is the grip and friction those tires are going to make. So fast rolling tires would be more suited for racing..

Who gets to determine who gets to line up at the front at the start? Feels like it's much easier to get away like F1

[@jamelpiclit3062]

Yup, F1 have quali every Saturday to decide the grid. But in XC I believe the grid is decided by the standings. The top at the front and the others at the back. Though using the XCC(short track~20-30min.) to decide the XCO( Cross country Olympic60-90min.) "grid" should be interesting. Fun fact too, Nino Schurter is the Lewis of XC.
