Mountain Bike World Cup 2008
Date Posted: 00.26hrs on Fri 27 Jul 07
The 2008 UCI Mountain Bike World Cup will touch down at Nevis Range in early June 2008, with the the XC and 4X on Saturday 8th June and the Downhill on Sunday 9th June 2008.

Maybe they'll be jostling with the skiers for space on the gondola next year! tongue sticking out smiley

Apparently Fort William has secured UCI Mountain bike world cups for the next five years and the UCI world championships again in five years.

Not sure the deals been signed and sealed but its looking good, 5 world cups and the World Championships in 2012 - that suggests a world cup and world championship in 2012 (would just need to get the Olympic mountain biking moved to complete the set! tongue sticking out smiley )

Maybe five years down the line with a decent snowmaking system in place this success can be replicated in winter with FIS world cup races - If snowmaking increased reliability of vertical then they would certainly sit up and take notice of the hugely successful mountain bike events hosted at Nevis Range.
