The
UCI has taken note with regret of the decision of GESTEV INC and GROUSE
MOUNTAIN, organisers of the 4th round of the 2002 TISSOT-UCI Downhill
Mountain Bike World Cup, to cancel the race scheduled on July 7th 2002
in Grouse Mountain (Vancouver, Canada) due to unexpected snow conditions
at the venue.
Because
of the cancellation of the Downhill race and in agreement with IMTTO
(Association of the UCI Mountain Bike Sports Groups and Technical Supports),
the UCI is obliged to cancel also the 4-Cross race because of non-representative
participation to the World Cup, also conscious that 4-Cross participants
are Downhill athletes.
No
replacement site is foreseen for the moment, the TISSOT-UCI 2002 Mountain
Bike World Cup will take place in 5 races instead of 6.
