As a fan of mtb XC - I am hoping he makes a splash and is at least competitive. Will hopefully bring in some new fans.
XC has really found its way as a spectator sport the last few years. Great coverage, shorter race times, exciting racing. If you like watching cross, XC is just a slightly longer, rowdier format. It is already growing and ready to blossom. Hopefully this is what it needs to really jump.
