When Greta Seiwald joined the Decathlon Ford team at the start of the 2023 season, she was taking a big gamble: continuing her progress while performing in a foreign team.
After a first season of adaptation, she took her career to the next level in 2024, finishing fifth at the European Championships in dreadful conditions before achieving her first top-ten finish (9th) at the Nove Mesto World Cup. After a great winter training in South Africa, this former skier from the Dolomites was building momentum until she won her first national title in XCC. Unfortunately, 24 hours later, she broke her ankle at a national event. At 28, she’s facing the biggest challenge of her career, but there’s no doubt she’ll find the strength to recover and continue her progress.

Sina Frei (Specialized Factory Racing) and Dario Lillo (Giant Factory Off-road Team - XC) took two of the hardest-fought UCI Cross-country Olympic (XCO) World Cup victories in recent years at the opening round of the WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series in South Korea.
A historic opener to the WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series in South Korea saw Asa Vermette (Frameworks Racing / TRP) claim a sensational Elite debut victory while Vali Höll (Commencal Schwalbe by Les Orres) triumphed despite a flat tyre. On a demanding brand-new course, Junior wins for Aletha Ostgaard (Canyon DH Racing) and Jonty Williamson (Yeti / Fox Factory Race Team) capped a thrilling start to the season.
The South Korean venue will welcome the UCI Cross-country World Cup to the continent for the first time, while UCI Downhill World Cup returns after a 25-year absence
