Specialized topped a field of 67 companies who earned themselves a spot in the Constructors Championship of the 2009 mountain bike racing season. The contest, created by the International Mountain Bike Teams, Tech support and Organisers (IMTTO) - an international non-profit organization supporting the greater good of mountain biking - was run for the first time this year.
Specialized was helped in largely by its professional World Cup team which includes racers such as Lene Byberg, Burry Stander, Todd Wells and Christoph Sauser. Trek brought a strong to to both the cross country and the downhill competitions with its Trek World Racing squad including Liam Killeen, Lukas Flückiger, Matthias Flückiger, Andrew Neethling, Tracy Moseley and Justin Leov. Some of Giant's top talent included Oli Beckingsale and Adam Craig.
All manufacturers whose bikes were raced at World Cups and World Championships scored points. The points were awarded, for each World Cup event and all categories at the World Championships, to the top 20 places in men's cross country, downhill and four cross and to the top 10 in the women's cross country, downhill and four cross.
The IMTTO organization is recognized by the UCI.
