2024 UCI DH/XC/Enduro Megathread

[toast2266]

Official calendar announced, so might as well start a new thread.

Only 1 DH race outside of Europe. All Enduro races in Europe. XC is at least getting around a bit.

The UCI scheduler should be kicked in the nuts. Seems like the DH schedule is mostly packed into May/June, with a two month break between stops 6-7, and another month between 7-8. Makes no sense at all.

My guess is that enduro is done after 2024; with the effort the UCI puts into covering/promoting it and only having 6 races on the calendar, why would a bike company waste money on this shit?

In fairness to the dates, world champs isn't on there, but looks to be scheduled for late August. And the Olympics are happening in Paris July 26 - Aug 11, which I'm sure complicates things even for non-olympic events like DH.

Can't say I'll miss the UCI shitshow coming to Snowshoe.

Nuke proof bankrupt.

I read a lot of comments saying Red Bull needs to go ahead and make their own DH series, and I'm inclined to agree heavily. We'd get Rob Warner back and better coverage that actually empowers the sport.

They need a feeder series that gives UCI points to qualify like the euro and Noram series does for skiing

The news was out a few days ago that he was parting with the Syndicate, but I couldn't find anything official that he was retiring.

Yeah, pinkbike said he was rumored to go to Norco. Which would be pretty crazy. Good for norco though.

Definitely not retirement vibes on that vid. Very much breakup vibes IMO.

You would have Greg talking if it was a wrap.

I thought the Norco thing had been confirmed pretty solidly as well.
