2010 Monaco SX Finale Canceled

On March 1 of this year, BMXNEWS reported on the announcement, by UCI, that the 2010 series finale would be held in Monte Carlo, Monaco. Today, those plans changed, as UCI issued a press release saying that “the authorisation to build the unique BMX Supercross track in Monaco harbour was declined for this year.”

The release went on to say that plans were moving forward for the 2011 event (but, reading between the lines a bit, it seemed like 2011 was not a “lock” just yet either), presumably as a lead-up to the 2012 London Olympic Games. No substitute location was named, and the release said, specifically “there are no plans for a replacement venue.” Thus, the series will end, as it did last year, in Frejus, France on October 8-9.
