13 venues, 11 countries and three continents, but no US stops, for ’08 World Cup Series,
7-3-07 // Events: 2008 World Cup Schedule
The International Cycling Union (UCI) announced the 2008 Nissan UCI Mountain Bike World Cup venues. The 18th season of UCI Mountain Bike World Cup in 2008 will unite 13 venues in 11 countries on three continents. Maribor Pohorje Mountain will kick off the downhill and fourcross series on May 10 and 11. With no less than six triple events in the series this will be the only stop specializing in "gravity" disciplines.
The downhill and 4X events will both start and end the 2008 World Cup in the Styria region. Maribor, the opener in Slovenia, and Schladming, the final event, in Austria are just 240 km apart.
"There will not be much of a break for our organizing team between this year's final and next year's opener. We are hoping for a short winter so we can get our venues in perfect shape on time," says Iztok Kvas, the event director from Sport Center Pohorje.
