iXS European Downhill Cup #3

Registration Maribor

The time has finally come. The most popular race of the iXS European Downhill Cup series opens today, 15th of June 2021 at 5 pm. Like last year, the date for Maribor seems optimal, because the European Championships and the World Cup follow directly after.

Maribor in Slovenia is one of the world‘s most famous places for mountain bike racing. Already in the 90s, international events were held there and even if competitions have not taken place in Maribor every year, it can be proudly said that the iXS European Downhill Cup will be hosted there for the fifth time this season.

Tracey Hannah (AUS) won the iXS European Downhill Cup in the Elite Women class in Maribor two years ago

This edition of the iXS European Cup is again expected to feature a strong and, above all, full field of participants, as the European Downhill Championships will take place the following weekend. The crowning glory of the exciting two weeks will be the third World Cup on 14^th and 15^th of August 2021 in Maribor.

Many riders don't want to miss the opportunity to complete timed runs before the World Cup. The iXS European Downhill Cup in Maribor is the perfect opportunity to familiarize yourself with the 2,600-metre track.
