This weekend at Rock Hill, the world’s top riders will be in the spotlight as the UCI World Championships quickly approach. In the women’s field, Australia’s Sakakibara has been unstoppable with multiple World Cup wins under her belt. Great Britain’s Shriever, who won last year’s championships, will also be a force to be reckoned with.
The men’s field is equally impressive, with France’s Romain Mahieu leading the charge as the UCI points leader. Joris Daudet, who recovered from a collarbone injury earlier this season, is also expected to make a strong showing. Colombia’s Diego Arboleda and Carlos Ramirez are another pair of riders to watch out for, along with Netherlands’ Niek Kimmann and Australia’s Izaac Kennedy.
Despite the pressure of being one of the toughest races of the year, these riders have spent months preparing for this moment. With their skills and determination on full display, expect some intense battles at Rock Hill this weekend.
