Monaco round of UCI BMX Supercross World Cup Is Cancelled!
The UCI regrets to announce that the 5th round of the
UCI BMX Supercross World Cup, presented by SWATCH,
is cancelled.
The event was initially planned to take place in the world
famous Monaco harbour on 16 and 17 October 2010.
Despite an earlier tentative approval, the authorisation to
build the unique BMX Supercross track in Monaco harbour
has finally been declined for this year.
The successful Supercross World Cup series however
deserves a grand finale in a spectacular venue like
Monaco harbour.
Therefore the UCI and local organisers are still determined
to host a BMX Supercross World Cup in Monaco in 2011, less
than one year before the London Olympic Games. There are
currently no plans for a replacement venue.
“It’s very unfortunate that we had to cancel the final round
in Monaco. We put in quite an effort, together with the local
promoter, to make it happen.
But unfortunately the local authorities did not approve the only
location suitable for the BMX Supercross track. I truly believe
that Monaco is the perfect setting for a BMX Supercross World
Cup, where action sports meets fashion kind-of-a-thing, and we
will do our utmost to have the 2011 SX finals in Monaco,” says
Johan Lindström, UCI BMX Sports Coordinator.
Remaining UCI BMX Supercross World Cup events schedule:
* Sept 17 -18 Supercross #3 - Chula Vista, CA USA
* Oct 8 - 9 Supercross #4 - Frejus, France
