The 2014 UCI Supercross World Cup kicks off this weekend at Manchester with the next Olympics just 2 years away the Supercross series becomes important in many aspects, but it’s now that we will see just who’s willing to step it up and push themselves into the spotlight.

New Race Format

The top 16 riders of the UCI men’s ranking (and top 8 of the women’s ranking) will qualify directly for the Super Final. Other riders will compete over three rounds, with the fastest 48 riders joining the protected riders for the motos on Saturday. This change is likely to lead to much more open racing and weekends of particularly fierce competition!

Will the Britts Dominate?

Will the Britts take the wins and kick off the 2014 season the same way they did the 2013 season? Time will tell. This time around Liam Phillips won’t be joined by Shanaze Reade, so one of the other Great Britian Elite Women’s riders will have to really step it up.
