From 29th June until 21st July, France once again lived in a bubble. And the whole world watched as Chris Froome won the stages to Ax 3 Domaines, Mont Ventoux and the individual time trial in Chorges, then defended his yellow jersey all the way to the finish in Paris. This year has already seen the British rider win two big stage races, the Tour de Romandie in Switzerland and the Critérium du Dau- phiné in France. His impressive athletic performance over the Tour’s 3,400 kilometre (2,110 mile) route in July saw him win his first Tour de France ahead of Colombia’s Nairo Alexander Quintana Rojas and Joaquin Rodriguez Oliver of Spain. To celebrate the 100th edition of the Tour de France, this year’s Grande Boucle started with three stages in Corsica – the first time the Tour has ever visited the Mediterranean island. In another bold step, the race didn’t start with its normal prologue this year.

  • Bidding Guide
    MOUNTAIN BIKE WORLD CUP UCI MOUNTAIN BIKE WORLD CUP INFORMATION FOR ORGANISERS 1. FOREWORD The 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 track (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 UCI Mountain Bike World Cup.
