Video: Event Preview - EWS Trophy of Nations 2019

Sep 28, 2019
by UCI Mountain Bike World Series  

That most iconic of enduro locations, Finale in Italy, will this weekend play host to the biggest mountain biking celebration of the year, the Bluegrass Trophy of Nations powered by SRAM.

The event marks a new chapter in the sport, as riders compete for the rainbow jerseys for the first time in the history of enduro. Sunday’s race will see 24 different nations take to the start line in teams of three, as they cast aside individual ambition and work together to compete for not only national pride, but also those elusive UCI Trophy of Nations jerseys and medals. Teamwork, strategy and sportsmanship will be pushed to the limit as riders work together to race for a combined result. Noga Korem took to the trails to see what lies in store for the racers this weekend.

 Is Noga racing or is she just doing media work? Looks like Israel doesn't have a team in and I haven't seen her name listed anywhere as a competitor

 I guess she'll race in the Industry Trophy (00:46) with her GT team on Sunday morning.

 The name “Industry Trophy” makes me wonder if the riders are actually company employees. If so, which company has socked away the most ex-World Cup pros?

 @Giddyhitch: the Julbo team looks pretty tasty

 @kingtut87: the Team Tactics video seems to confirm that the company employees are riding in the Industry Cup not the team pros. Recognized the GT mechanic from the Dialed videos.

 So if a rider is doing the Industry Trophy in the morning he or she will not me ridding the Nation´s in the afternoon? Or are we going to see the same riders in both?

 Sorry, what is the rules? Everybody have to finish together? Slowest time counts or do you add up the times of all the riders on the Team?
