National Team athletes will also be making an appearance at the North American stops in Snowshoe, USA and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.velirium.com\/en\/\">Mont-Ste-Anne, Canada<\/a>, known to be one of the most iconic races on the international mountain bike circuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThese world cups will serve as development projects, which is our ultimate focus for the National Team,\u201d said National Team Coach, Jeff Ain. \u201cWe want to help athletes continue to progress well into their Elite years and ultimately make their way onto professional teams, while continuing to help in any way we can whether that\u2019s race-day support or assisting with logistics. We\u2019ve been working on improving our communication with all of our athletes and finding commonalities and solutions for individual cyclists that compete in multiple disciplines.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The team will be heading to Europe in the next weeks to compete at the UCI XCO\/XCC World Cup in Albstadt, Germany, from May 6-8.
