On the Grand Prรฉ de Levens with the adjacent pine forest, a place rich in events, nearly 1,500 riders are expected this Sunday for a round of the French Cross Country MTB Cup.
An extreme experience: Olympic cross-country mountain biking
The Olympic race is conducted on a short circuit between 4 and 6 km where competitors lap for a duration varying between 1 hour and 1 and a half hours depending on the category. It is the only discipline included in the Olympic Games and requires great mountain biking skills.
Due to the short distance of the circuit, it is easy for spectators to position themselves near the technical sections to watch the riders.
