UCI Releases Press Conference Ahead of Fort William World Cup

Riders have arrived in Fort William and gotten acquainted with the course after the track walk. To help promote the race, World Cup organizers brought some of the sport's biggest stars in for a press conference.

Watch Loic Bruni, Myriam Nicole, Reece Wilson, Lou Ferguson, and Greg Minnaar answer questions ahead of this weekend’s race below.

In this presser, the riders discussed the offseason and how it felt to come back to racing. Greg offered some insight about his move to Norco.

Ferguson opened up about the strength of the women's field. At the end of last year, heavy hitters Myriam Nicole and Camille Balanche were both sidelined with injuries. Having the two former overall winners back at full strength will do wonders for the competition at the pointy end of the women's field. Read BIKE's predictions for the first round below.
