Saalfelden Leogang, Austria, March 16th, 2011 – This year, the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup comes to Saalfelden Leogang again for the downhill and fourcross competitions. From June 10th to 12th, the biggest stars of the downhill and fourcross scene are gathering in the Bikepark Leogang to rock the newly designed downhill track and the fourcross track built last year. This year, the UCI World Cup is taking place as part of the Out of Bounds Festival. From June 10th to 19th, Saalfelden Leogang offers a schedule packed with everything a biker’s heart desires.

After Gee Atherton (UK) and Greg Minnaar (RSA) delivered an extremely close battle for the downhill World Cup 2010 that kept everyone on their toes, we can safely assume they will not be doing each other any favours this year either. 2010 world champion Sam Hill (AUS) or 2009 world champion Steve Peat (UK) will be sure to give their best to take the top ranks from them. The host country is represented by Markus Pekoll who is currently number 15 in the world ranking and certain to play his part in making this competition more than exciting at the Bikepark Leogang. In the ladies’ racing, Rachel Atherton (UK) can be expected to make a huge comeback after her injury and challenge last year’s winner Sabrina Jonnier (FRA). Read More→
