8 XCO- COURSE New Trail added MITAS ABBYSS The physically demanding course in the Bullentäle compared to last year shows no major changes, but three important corrections anyway. The Skyder Track Company Limited already in autumn has build an extra track, when riders leaving the grass field after the Tech Zone, entering the woods. To make it more comfortable for the spectators, the riders now are riding parallel to the gravel road on a new trail. After the double climb in the Bullentäle, the course goes in a drop called Mitas Abbyss, build in This technical part has got a new and longer B-Line in order to prevent a conflict with riders crashing on the A-Line. Of course, it s a small detail, but due to safety reasons that makes sense. Regarding the spectators and already with an eye on the 2020 world championships in Albstadt, the bridge at the edge of the grass field was replaced by a new one, build by Schwörer Haus. Riders are crossing the bridge twice, in both direction. But more important, it s the entrance for spectators towards the cauldron of the Bullentäle. Now there is more space under the bridge and people are able to pass fluently in both directions. The rest stays the same. After passing Feed and Tech Zone and riding the new build track, at the bottom of the Bullentäle it goes right, then climbing up, coming down by the Lefty line into the valley. Double climb, Mitas Abbyss and then following the Mercedes-Benz North Shore section up the crossing which leads to the Devils Corner. The spectacular downill is followed by a turn to the right and the descend via GoPro Crossing into the Albstadt Drop, surfing on the waves until the Mercedes-Benz Jump, right before the bridge already mentioned. On the second part riders climbing the Gonso Uphill and hunting down the Bundeswehr Slalom, where Mathias Flückiger in 2017 after a mistake crashed badly. The Deep Hole leads to the grass field and then to the finish. Ready to enter the next lap, after recovering a little on the asphalt straight. Short Track: Fluent and spectator friendly As Short Track now is implemented into the program of the Mercedes-Benz UCI Mountain Bike World Cup, we have to introduce also into this course. It s requested to be easy, fluent and spectator friendly. So it s the start-finish straight, then a loop on the grass, entering the woods and coming back to the grass via Deep hole. That s it. Riders will make it exciting 25 minutes. Fast and furious UCI MTB WORLD CUP OFFICIAL PROGRAMME 08

14 ALBSTADT AND HIS HISTORY OF BIKING Albstadt, dedicated to mountain biking Albstadt and mountain biking, that s a tight connection. One, which started already at the end of the eighties, when Albstadt cyclists Marc Faude and Stephan Salscheider discovered the new kind of bike and decided to take part at the precursor of UCI Mountain Bike World Cup, the international Grundig Cup. The duo was present in the regional press and soon the people in the area knew very well what s going on with the young and wild cycling discipline. So, the door was already a gap open, when in 1995 the LBS Bike Marathon celebrated its premiere. It was one of the first marathons in Germany at all and it came into being by the idea to connect by bike all of nine villages with Albstadt consists of. It was and it is an overwhelming success participants are riding this marathon every year and easily it could be more, if the number would not be limited. The LBS Bike Marathon is part of the years cycle in inhabitants counting city. The crowd makes it very special. The spectators partially standing in rows of three or four at the climbs, creating an enthusiastic atmosphere. Mountain biking, that belongs to the city culture of Albstadt, not only because of the hilly topography on the Swabian Alb. That became obvious at the Gonso Albstadt MTB Classic, which were started in 2005 and then in 2013 first time successful hosted an UCI Mountain Bike World Cup. Already at the premiere edition, the German nationals, such a splendid mood ruled at the race course, causing an experienced bike journalist questioning: What s going on here? Mountain Biking is going on in Albstadt and in the district of Zollernalbkreis, so far you can say without exaggeration. After organizing the German nationals in Tailfingen a second time in 2006, the event hosted an International MTB-Bundesliga race in Already with a lot of prominent figures in the competition. Women s victory went to Irina Kalentieva (Rus), who in the same year should become world champion. Second placed Sabine Spitz got the silver medal and one year later she celebrated gold at the Olympic Games in Peking. Same as the Albstadt winner in men s race, Julien Absalon (Fra), who won in the Bullentäle as he did in Bejing 2008 in front of his countryman Jean-Christophe Péraud. To avoid conflicts with the program of the cross country riders in the Olympic year, the Gonso Albstadt MTB Classic in 2008 hosted the European Marathon Championships. In 2009 the event came back into the Bundesliga series, first time registered in UCI s Hors Class status to 2014 another event was inserted into the mountain bike portfolio of the area. The Sparkasse TRANS Zollernalb was a three days stage race with around 600 participants, which also stopped in Albstadt. As a peak of everything, in January Albstadt was awarded to host the UCI Cross Country World Championships All in all Albstadt self-confident could claim: "Mountainbiking owns his place here!" Sabine Spitz underlined that some years later in one sentence: If I could, I would like to pack the Albstadt crowd into a bus, taking it with me everywhere I race UCI MTB WORLD CUP OFFICIAL PROGRAMME 14
