Get to Know - Henrique Avancini

10 months ago

When it comes to the UCI Mountain Bike Cross-country World Cup, few stars shine brighter than Brazil’s Henrique Avancini. The 34 year-old from Petrópolis has had a busy offseason having stepped away from his long-time employers, Cannondale Factory Racing, to rejoin an old sponsor but a new team. 

We caught up with Henrique to talk all things Caloi Henrique Avancini Racing and to find out how he rates his own (and everyone else’s) chances ahead of a brand new season of racing kicking off in just under one week's time. 

The opening round of this season’s Endurance calendar will take place in the storied surroundings of a certified rider’s favourite - Nové Město na Moravě in the Czech Republic. For Avancini it will be a return to a happy hunting ground as it’s within the famous Vysočina Arena that he sealed a historic double victory in both the Short Track and Olympic races 2020.
