Competing for Worlds at Worlds

Mont Ste Anne (MSA) World Cup organizers aren't at the UCI Mountain Bike World Championships in Fort William, Scotland, to race, but they are there to promote their bid to host the 2010 World Championships.

The Canadian organizers are competing against Norway, Brazil and the Czech Republic. North America has not hosted the Worlds since 2001, when they were in Vail, Colorado, and Canada last hosted in 1998 - at Mont Ste Anne. MSA organizer Chantal Lachance promised a 20th anniversary event that will help celebrate the early days of the sport.
