This classic mountain biking discipline is how it all started; an XCO race has a group start with all riders and then continues along a loop itinerary with a minimum 4 km length. The number of times that the track is repeated is based on the category of the race. Each year,
the tracks of this Olympic discipline become increasingly technical.
Length: 4000m, 160m drop
The XCO track in Val di Sole has a length of 4000 m, the start and finish is in Daolasa, located at a height of 830 m, and it is close to the gondola lift. The track has been modified along certain sections for the 2017 finals. A rock section in the woods called “Dolomiti Rocks” has been unearthed and from the arrival area, spectators will be able to see about half of the total loop including the “New School Trail”, "Bike Land Trail” and the spectacular section on the 4X world champ track. These are the sections where the majority of the spectators will be and where they can cheer on the champs during this incredible race.
Rocks, roots, natural features, excitement, adrenaline, XCO-gravity action: these are the key words that describe this year’s event. A gigantic screen will give everyone the chance to see the race live right from the stands.
