BRIAN COOKSON UCI PRESIDENT

What a pleasure to come to Val di Sole with our UCI World Championships for downhill, four- cross and trials. We know this magnificent Trentino resort well, as it has regularly hosted rounds of the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup as well as the UCI World Championships in 2008. Each time, we have been treated to excellent organisation, fantastic courses, exciting racing and an incredible atmosphere. I thank the organisers of this event, who are supported by sponsors, partners, volunteers and of course the Federazione Ciclistica Italiana and its President Renato Di Rocco, my colleague on the UCI Management Committee. This year will be a true festival of mountain bike that also includes the UCI Masters World Cham- pionships. Two weeks of emotion, excitement and top-level racing await. I wish everybody good luck.
