Cycling: On January 30th, the first FMB event of the season will take place in Austria in Saalfelden Leogang - the special thing about it: It will be held entirely in the snow. As in previous years, some of the best freeriders in Europe gather there to outdo each other in daring tricks.
The White Style is a special event in two respects: Obstacles made entirely of ice and snow and the competition being held under floodlights - both ensure a unique atmosphere, a great look and above all: lots of fun for drivers and spectators. Course designer Markus Hampl and his crew are currently working flat out on the course.
In addition to scene greats such as last year's winner Antoine Bizet from France and his compatriot Franck Paulin or Briton Daryl Brown, six German drivers will also face the special course. The field of drivers at a glance:
