XCO Verona 2026 - Italia Bike Cup

XCO Verona - Round 2 of the 2026 Italia Bike Cup Series

Season opener for our young MTB cross-country riders

Alongside the Enduro Crew race in Gorizia (see article here ->), the young cross-country riders also had their first race of the new 2026 season on the agenda.
With Simon Lintner and Moritz Meraner, only two riders took part in the season’s racing action for the time being. And they performed quite well despite difficult conditions: due to overnight rain, the track was soggy and muddy. Because of their high start numbers resulting from a lack of points, making their way up the field proved quite difficult. As a result, Simon was out of the race after just two laps, and Moritz after three. They finished the race in 80th (Moritz) and 99th (Simon) places.
The official season opener for the entire youth team will take place in two weeks’ time at the cross-country race in Rivoli Veronese (VR), race no. 3 of the 2026 Italia Bike Cup series.
