The party starts again: Lenzerheide receives confirmation for UCI World Cup 2021

This year, the corona virus deprived athletes and fans of the big mountain bike party in Lenzerheide. But this will be made up for, because next summer Lenzerheide will once again become a mountain bike hotspot. The UCI Mountain Bike World Cup with the cross-country and downhill disciplines will take place on September 4 and 5, 2021.

After the planned Mountain Bike World Cup from September 4 to 6, 2020 could not take place due to coronavirus, the joy at the confirmation of the World Cup in 2021 is all the greater. "We are delighted to once again have the opportunity to put on a great mountain bike festival," says OC President Christoph Müller. The renewed inclusion in the World Cup calendar is not least a sign that a good job is being done in Lenzerheide. Over the past few years, the organizers have been able to continue to develop and build a team where every move is perfect. This will be the fifth UCI Mountain Bike World Cup to be held in the Lenzerheide vacation region, including the World Championships in 2018.

Double event to guarantee a great atmosphere

The fact that two disciplines, cross country and downhill, will once again be held in Lenzerheide makes the organizers optimistic. "It is precisely this combination of different groups of people - be it athletes or fans - that makes the World Cup in Lenzerheide so special," says Christoph Müller happily.

While the current World Cup cycle is still in full swing, the organizers in Lenzerheide are already preparing for the 2021 World Cup. As no one yet knows what the epidemiological situation will be like next year, this is a major challenge. In recent months, however, a lot of know-how has been gained, which will now be incorporated into the planning. "Despite all the uncertainty, we are looking forward to tackling the 2021 World Cup project together with our partners, the volunteers and the entire region and successfully implementing it in September 2021," concludes Christoph Müller.www.mtbworldcup.ch
