The Bikefestival Basel presents: MacAskill and the revenge after Olympia

The organizers of the Bikefestival Basel are bringing a crowd-puller to the Rhine knee: Danny MacAskill is rolling into Basel with his Drop & Roll Tour. The motto for the cross-country competitions on August 27 and 28 is: Revenge for the Olympics.

On August 27 and 28, 2016, the largest cycling event in northwestern Switzerland will take place for the seventh time on the Schänzli. This year, the event OC is presenting a special highlight: the exceptionally talented Danny MacAskill will be at the start with his Drop & Roll Tour.

The organizers of the Bikefestival Basel have reserved the weekend after the Olympic cross-country competition in Rio for August 27 and 28, 2016. The elite race, which has now been awarded Hors Catégorie status by the UCI, the highest category of the UCI after the World Cup races, will therefore be held under the motto "The Olympic Revenge".

Possible Swiss Olympic champions will be able to present themselves to the home crowd for the first time in the Schänzli and international riders will have the chance to return the favor before riding straight on to the World Cup final in Vallnord.
