  • 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.

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.

  • CIS Takes Rio: 158 Athletes with CIS Ties to Compete at 2016 Olympic Games
    CIS takes Rio: 158 athletes with CIS ties to compete at 2016 Olympic Games Aug. 15, 2016 TORONTO (CIS) – Canadian Interuniversity Sport announced Wednesday 158 athletes associated with CIS member schools will compete for Canada at the Rio 2016 Summer Olympics. The CIS contingent, which represents over half of the 314 athletes on the 2016 Canadian Olympic Team, includes 81 current, incoming or former CIS student-athletes, and 77 athletes who have either competed in non-CIS sports, or studied at CIS institutions. “We are extremely proud of all our athletes competing at the Rio 2016 Olympics with ties to university sports in Canada,” said Graham Brown, chief executive officer of CIS. “Each of them epitomize the dedication and passion of our student-athletes nationwide and we wish them the best of luck as they strive for gold.” Kylie Masse (LaSalle, Ont.), the 2016 BLG Award winner as CIS Female Athlete of the Year, is one of seven current or future CIS athletes heading to Rio this summer. Masse, a swimmer heading into her third year with the University of Toronto, represented Canada at the 2015 Summer Universiade and is the Canadian record holder in the 100-metre backstroke. Masse is joined at the Summer Games by fellow Varsity Blue Gabriela Stafford (Toronto, Ont.), who competes in track and field, York Lions track and field athlete Brittany Crew (East York, Ont.), and swimmers Erika Seltenreich-Hodgson (Ottawa, Ont.), Emily Overholt (West Vancouver, B.C.) and Markus Thormeyer (Tsawwassen, B.C.) of UBC, as well as Evan Van Moerkerke (Tillsonburg, Ont.) of Guelph.
