The last day of practice before Saturday\u2019s short track (XCC) is now cancelled due to heavy rains and extreme winds.<\/p>\n<p>Whoop UCI Mountain Bike World Series says \u00a0all training on Friday is cancelled. The notification adds that the schedule remains, at this point, unchanged for Saturday and Sunday\u2019s racing.<\/p>\n<p>The Soldier Hollow course looks fast and fun. But the dirt would make it interesting, to say the least, to try race in the wet. As we saw in South Korea at the season opener, some courses do better in wet weather than others. Utah might not be the best.<\/p>\n<p>Thunderstorms are forecast going into Friday night. Saturday and Sunday look overcast, but not that wet. Hopefully the sun will come out and we won\u2019t find out just how bad it could be on Saturday or Sunday.<br \/><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: none; overflow: hidden;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fphoto.php%3Ffbid%3D1532378345598925%26set%3Da.646189644217804%26type%3D3&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500\" width=\"500\" height=\"732\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Anyway,<a href=\"https:\/\/cyclingmagazine.ca\/mtb\/jumps-slabs-speed-join-marin-lowe-and-liv-factory-racing-for-a-soldier-hollow-course-preview\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> here\u2019s a course preview from the new venue.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 1 --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n\t\t! function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n\t\t\tif (f.fbq) return;\n\t\t\tn = f.fbq = function() {\n\t\t\t\tn.callMethod ?\n\t\t\t\t\tn.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments)\n\t\t\t};\n\t\t\tif (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n\t\t\tn.push = n;\n\t\t\tn.loaded = !0;\n\t\t\tn.version = '2.0';\n\t\t\tn.queue = [];\n\t\t\tt = b.createElement(e);\n\t\t\tt.async = !0;\n\t\t\tt.src = v;\n\t\t\ts = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n\t\t\ts.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s)\n\t\t}(window, document, 'script',\n\t\t\t'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n\t\tfbq('init', '900220307025564');\n\t\tfbq('track', 'PageView');\n\t<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/cyclingmagazine.ca\/mtb\/extreme-weather-forces-cancellation-of-training-at-soldier-hollow-xc-world-cup\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The World Cup is visiting a brand new course this weekend in Solider Hollow, Utah.
