Bikers flooded Vysocina Arena

Expo Zone is quicky growing...

Bikers started their trainings at the stadium of Vysocina Arena and in the adjacent forests yesterday. Team zones and tent town are being built, and the largest of teams have started unpacking their trucks. Officials from the UCI and mainly the riders are having a look at the peculiarities of the track. And among them world champions, such as Catherine Pendrel of Canada and Julien Absalon of France, or the Swiss winners of the 2014 World Cup: Jolanda Neff and Nino Schurter.

For the first time this year, the 4.1-kilometre-long course was tested by Czech riders, too. They were lead by Jaroslav Kulhavý, who tried three laps and then went off to shoot a spot for Red Bull TV. Jaroslav shortly commented on his first training: "There are several new obstacles on the track, however, I do not consider them much of a problem. I am in quite suprised that the course is in a good condition, despite the constant rain..."
