Pauline Ferrand-Prévot, the 2023 XCC and XCO World Cup overall winner from France, is returning to the women’s field at Nove Mesto. Despite missing the first two UCI World Cups in Brazil to focus on road racing, Ferrand-Prévot is expected to be a strong contender as the 2023 defending champion.
Currently, USA’s Haley Batten leads the 2024 UCI XCO World Cup rankings, with Sweden’s Jenny Rissveds in second place. USA’s Savillia Blunk has also consistently appeared on the podium with second and third-place finishes, placing her in third in the UCI rankings.
New entries at the first European tour stop in Nove Mesto include Mona Mitterwallner of Austria, who missed the first two World Cups due to illness. These additions are expected to shake up the competition and create new battles among the women riders.
With Ferrand-Prévot back in the mix and top contenders like Batten, Rissveds, Blunk, and Mitterwallner all competing, the upcoming UCI World Cup in Europe promises to be an exciting and unpredictable event. Fans can expect a thrilling showcase of talent and determination as these talented riders compete for victory in Nove Mesto.
