Lostorf comes to the Cross-Country-SM 2014

The town of Lostorf in the canton of Solothurn has been awarded the contract to host the Swiss Mountain Bike Championships in 2014. The national championships in the Cross Country and Eliminator disciplines will be held there on July 18 and 20. The Swiss Downhill Championships will once again be held in Anzère.

The Eliminator races on Friday evening will kick things off in Lostorf. Saturday will then be dedicated to the Argovia Cup, followed by the championship races on Sunday. "After the C2 events in 2012 and 2013, we received a lot of positive feedback from the drivers and stewards. We are delighted that the organizers have accepted the challenge of hosting the Swiss Championships," says Florian Peiry, MTB & BMX discipline manager at Swiss Cycling.

The 2014 champions will be crowned on a varied race course. The steep climb to Balmis follows shortly after the start, before the riders head off into the forest on long and sometimes challenging singletrail sections. The final section leads over long straights back to the start and finish on the suissetec site.
