Riders wishing to try out for the Australian MTBO Team will be able to demonstrate they meet the standard required at the selection races to be held at the Victorian MTBO Champs on 22 and 23rd April in Castlemaine. The trial events will comprise the Sprint, Middle and Long distance stage at the VIC Champ.
The trials are for both the Men’s and Women’s Elite and the Junior (U21yrs) World Championship teams.
If you’re interested in nominating for the team, read the Selection Criteria below, fill in the Nomination Form below and and attend the trials.
The World Championships are being held in the Czech Republic (18-27th August) but team members will also be required to attend the overseas pre-champs training camp in the weeks beforehand. Riders receive some funding support from Orienteering Australia but will need to pay their own airfare, uniform and other travel expenses.
OA is also seeking expressions of interest for the positions of Team Manager and Team Coach.
