Description

The 2015 UCI World Cup lands at a brand new venue in Lenzerheide, Switzerland. The track is steep, rough and full of both natural terrain and man-made terrain. Brendan Fairclough won the inaugural race on the track a month or so ago and now the rest of the field is in town. Lake-side sunbathing and downhill bikes in the Alps? Sounds good to us.
