SHIMANORaceTV: XCE In Houffalize

18 April 2012  |   |   3 Comments

Since this season, the UCI created a new discipline within the mountainbike sport: Cross Country Eliminator. This very spectacular discipline combines 4-Cross with Cross Country mountainbiking and therefore very entertaining for the spectators. Last weekend the first XC Eliminator race took place during the UCI World Cup in Houffalize. Check out this movie and get an impression of the sport and let UCI Sport Coordinator Simon Burney explain what this new discipline is all about.

XCE Rd 1 Houffalize

XCE looks to be an interesting new format. Not as exciting as 4X though.

The future of bike racing ?
How can they not want to jump the bump ?
No 14 had a sweet arse though.
