So Lappartient wants to
On the surface that sounds ace, but it does mean waiting four years for a Worlds rather than having one every year, and a single rider wearing the rainbow hoops for four years who isn't Sagan. I like the idea the hoops mostly are handed over every year.
Also the Olympics miss out a shit load of the best track events, which is why the World Track Champs are much better that the track at the Olympics. Ditto MTB; no downhill or 4x at the Olympics. Downhill at the very least should be an Olympic sport and a World Champs should certainly include it.
And off the top of my head trials riding, BMX and MTB dirt-jumping, freeriding, would love to see this all included in some massive festival of cycling. Ooh I got myself excited.
But if he wants to just offer up the Olympic disciplines then I'd rather it all stay as it is.
