  • Mercedes-Benz Uci Mountain Bike World Cup Information for Organisers 1.Foreword
    MOUNTAIN BIKE WORLD CUP MERCEDES-BENZ UCI MOUNTAIN BIKE WORLD CUP INFORMATION FOR ORGANISERS 1.FOREWORD The Mercedes-Benz UCI Mountain Bike World Cup is a season-long series of races that tests the skill, stamina and consistency of the world’s best specialists in mountain biking. Over a period of six months, the athletes confront each other time and time again in a bid to claim the leader’s jersey and, ultimately, the overall UCI World Cup title. Hosting a round of this extremely hard-fought competition leads to positive spin-offs both for the sport and the region. The local population has a chance to see mountain bike racing at the highest level, and the venue is showcased as a top mountain bike destination. Be it for Cross-country Olympic (XCO) Cross-country short circuit (XCC), and/or Downhill (DHI), the World Cup venue must live up to expectations of athletes, fans and sponsors alike. For the organisers, it is a major undertaking and a rewarding and satisfying experience. In order to encourage potential hosts and to simplify their candidature procedure, the UCI has published this Bidding Guide. The aim of this document is to provide National Federations and candidature committees of potential host cities with practical information for preparing their candidature. Questions that regularly crop up from potential hosts are answered in our concise guide, which provides advice for the different stages of the bid procedure. Issues covered include marketing rights, sponsors, budget, course requirements, team areas, and transport and accommodation requirements. I hope that this bidding procedure will be the beginning of a long and successful collaboration between the UCI and the future organisers of a round of the Mercedes-Benz UCI Mountain Bike World Cup.
