MTB News: The organizers of the Black Forest MTB Cup have had to remove three important races from the event calendar for 2020. The opening race of the junior mountain bike series in Hausach is canceled due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the storm "Sabine" thwarts the event in St. Georgen and the RIG Freiburg decides early on not to host it.
The Black Forest MTB Cup was supposed to include nine events this year, but nothing is made to measure this year. As with many other racing series, the opening event of the junior mountain bike series falls victim to the Covid 19 pandemic. But not only the corona virus is affecting the Black Forest MTB Cup 2020. Even before the cancellation of SC Hausach, those responsible for the event in St. Georgen pulled the rip cord. In February, the storms "Sabine" and "Bianca" devastated the forests in which the route runs. According to the organizers, the city and the forestry office cannot defuse the situation in the short or medium term and therefore refused approval for the race. The event in Freiburg will also be completely canceled. From Freiburg it says: "We currently do not consider it sufficiently certain that we will be able to carry out the necessary can make preparations. In addition, we are currently not assuming that it will be feasible in the interest of the health of everyone involved. We expressly regret this decision, but currently see no alternative.”
There are currently six races left to take place - at least that's the current status. There will be an overall ranking including a deleted result. The organizers expressly point out that children and young people or parents should not hesitate to register for the respective races. According to the information, the entry fees will only be withdrawn from the account if a race will take place with XNUMX% certainty.
