Dalby World Cup Goes Ahead As Scheduled

The 2010 UCI Mountain Bike Cross-Country World Cup in Dalby Forest, Yorkshire, scheduled for 23 - 25 April, is going ahead as planned despite disruptions to air travel across Europe caused by volcanic dust.

The event will remain a full point scoring round for the overall World Cup standings, with teams encouraged by the UCI to make every effort to get to Dalby Forest in time for official training on Friday.

A number of riders, including those from Australia and Canada, have arrived in Yorkshire, with more expected to arrive in the coming days. British Cycling has reached an arrangement with P&O Ferries to ensure that travel requirements for teams in Europe are prioritised.

The full event infrastructure, including timing and TV, is in place for the weekend.
