One of the toughest World Champioships won by Olano when Indurain was the main favourite.
Even we don't have rider on Mountain DT, we have a nice squad with several riders of great level.
The Falcon Janson was 3rd in this race some weeks ago in 1a, only beaten by Martinusson (NOR) and Miorlin (ITA). The Norwegian team is the main favourtie with several riders with big changes of being among the top 10. Apart of Miorlin, 2nd in the WC, Blaak (NED), Niklitschek (GER) and Bogdanov (UKR) are among the favourites, without forgetting the strong French team.
Tim Bell, 19 yo, will do his first appearance. This will be continued in the next races with at least one 19 yo riders included in the squad, in order to motivate the promotion of GB cyclists.
