Hit Frejus, Then Double Down in Monte Carlo
March 1, 2010 by BMXNEWS.COM Editors · Comments Off
If you are racing the UCI BMX Supercross World Cup this year, you can add “International (wo)Man of Mystery” to your business cards. Two weeks after the Fréjus France Supecross event, UCI and the world’s top BMX racers will be moving into the Jet Set Principality of Monaco to get down, Grimaldi style. The Monte Carlo Supercross will be held October 15 and 16, 2010, providing two weeks of fun in the sun in the South of France between races. Nothing like Summering (ok “Autumning”) on the French Riviera to make those other poor sots in staging jealous at the Disney Cup.
The Monte Carlo race was originally scheduled against the North American Championships in Utah this July. For those of you filling out a scorecard, it means there will be no Class 4 UCI race in Phoenix this weekend, and the Class 3 race in Utah will go off unchallenged.
To get to Monte Carlo, fly into Nice Côte d’Azur (Airport Code: NCE), which is about a 30 minute drive. If you are so inclined, bring a tux so you can kick it, James Bond style, in the Grand Casino. At the very least, men need to wear coat and tie— clip shoes and leathers are “interdit”.
Madrid SX Track Design Released
January 29, 2010 by BMXNEWS.COM Editors · Comments Off
The track design for the upcoming Madrid UCI Supercross race was posted on Vintage this morning (thanks to Carl Lein). The race is March 26-27 and features a 1000-foot track with a treacherous-looking “on & off” obstacle in the second straight. Design is the handiwork of UCI dirt dealer, and capitán of the Cat’, Mr. Tom Ritz.
