Best events of the World Cup 2011: La Bresse rewarded

The International Cycling Union (UCI) issues as each year's awards for the best events of the World Cup. The jury, composed of UCI officials, sponsors and media, voted. It's La Bresse (France) that takes the trophy for the best event of the 2011 season in DH category. Fort Williams, last year winner , took second place, but win the 4-cross category

La Bresse (France) who joined the World Cup calendar just two years ago was voted best downhill event of the season. The smooth organisation, unique atmosphere and the thousands of spectators that turned out for this event ensured its popularity within the mountain bike community. The short, old school track which renders tight results was also cited. Last year’s winner, the well established Fort William (GBR), also proved popular in second place, noted for its great loud, big and boisterous crowd and long demanding track. The small ski resort three hours north of New York City, Windham (USA), took third place with a particular mention for the excellent organisation as well as the welcome and enthusiasm of the local population and its local community support/work.
