We have a new World Cup destination in 2014, Cairns in Australia, which has in fact held the Downhill World Champs back in 1996!

Cairns will be using this event to prepare to once again hold the World Championships in 2017. We also see Windham (USA) returning after a one-year absence with a triple event as it holds the XC events as well.
Méribel will provide the stage for the final round of the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup (August 23 – 24). It will be the last chance for the athletes to confront each other before the World Championships which will get under way in Hafjell, Norway, 10 days later.
