Here are the new XCO National Champions 2023

Taking advantage of the break in international competitions, especially the World Cup, many federations are using these weeks to hold their national championships. Here we review some of the most relevant ones.

Review of the XCO 2023 National Champions

The first National Championships held this year are already far away, such as the Australian one won by Rebecca Henderson (Primaflor Mondraker) and Sam Fox in February 2023, or even some as important as the Swiss one, held last June, which saw Mathias Fluckiger and Alessandra Keller (Thomus Maxon) wearing the red jersey and the white cross until next year.

The month of July is usually the most prolific in terms of national championships, and good proof of this are the large number that are being held in the last weekend. In Spain, David Valero (BH Coloma Team) and Lara Lois won the national title just a few days ago, in France Loana Lecomte (Canyon) and Titouan Carod (BMC MTB Team) won the 2023 French XCO champion jerseys, and Vlad Dascalu (Trek Factory) and Manuela Muresan did the same in Romania.
