After a year’s break, the resort in Trentino returns to the UCI World Cup calendar in 2015. It will be the final round, and therefore decisive for the XCO and DHI rankings. It will also enable the riders to put the finishing touches to their preparation for the UCI World Championships one week later. Host of the Worlds in 2008, Val di Sole will again organise the World Championships for Downhill in 2016.
Downhill Finals
After a one-year break, the world cup returns to the town in the Dolomite Alps. Boasting one of the steepest downhill tracks in the world, the technical and playful course is the ideal place to crown the overall world cup champion.
