Thousands of bike fans will watch the world's best riders at work. In addition to the battle for seconds, this weekend in the Epic Bikepark Leogang there is also the full action package off the tracks – countless side events await.
Where the big wow moments can be experienced at the double World Cup from 10 to 12 June at the Epic Bikepark Leogang is clear: Right next to the track, when the world’s best downhill and cross country riders seemingly fearlessly throw themselves over roots, obstacles and steep curves, sometimes at high speed into the valley. But also away from the racing scene, the bike event in Saalfelden Leogang awaits with some side events worth seeing. Where? For example in the Team & Expo Area or in airy heights at the Red Bull Airshow!
An exclusive look behind the scenes of the bike sport
On Friday (12 to 8 p.m.), Saturday (10 to 8 p.m.) and Sunday (9.30 to 5 p.m.) the Team & Expo Area offers an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at professional mountain biking. Here you can watch the riders during the race preparation, but also look over the shoulder at the mechanics during the fine tuning of the bikes. Of course, countless exhibitors also give the opportunity to take a closer look at the innovations in bike technology and bike accessories. Those who want to go further with the riders will have the opportunity to get a coveted autograph at a Fox Racing signing session on Friday at 4pm at the box office of the valley station Asitz. There are also several raffles, such as at Scott’s booth, where a signed N1NO Schurter jersey is given away every day. The latest products can also be tested in the Shimano Test Area.
Red Bull shows on Saturday and Sunday
But not only on the ground, but also in the air, the supporting program at the Mercedes-Benz UCI Mountainbike World Cup in Saalfelden Leogang plays all the pieces. On Saturday at 12:15 p.m., before the final of the downhill, Flying Bull pilot Miguel Hochleitner will conjure up an impressive airshow with artistic aerial displays in the sky with the historic North American T-28B. On Sunday, we will go to BMX. Before the final of the Cross Country Riders Senad Grosic puts on a brilliant show at the event venue.
Also not to be missed on the World Cup weekend: the parties in the surrounding bars. The “Warm Up” takes place on Friday in the Kralleralm, the Rider’s Party rises on Saturday in the Outback.
