After three races, the 2022 UCI E-Mountain Bike World Cup season is starting to take shape for the rest of the calendar, although there are still six more races to go. The men’s field is more open than the women’s, with Lapierre Overlot’s Frenchmen Jérôme Gilloux and Trek’s swiss Nicole Göldi at the top of the standings.
Guilloux has a almost perfect record after three rounds and sixr races. In Monaco-Peille he took top honors during the opening weekend of competition and the opening of the World Cup. Two weeks later he proved to be the fastest in Bologna-Montagne to take two more important victories that may represent the start of a breakaway in the overall, although, in Charade he splits honors with Joris Ryf to break the perfection that he had so far, but he still with a high gap at the top of the table.
The race for the women’s title is tighter, although Tonso took a double in Monaco-Peille, in Bologna-Montagne Round 1 she broke the seat of her electric bike, forcing her to retire and losing valuable points. However, the next day she recovered, took the lead and went on to win Round 2. However, at the Charade circuit, Nicole Göldi took it all into the Round 3 weekend to put the championship on her favor and become the new provisional leader.
