Austria's Saalfelden Leogang will host the UCI Mountain Bike & Trials World Championships from August 31 through September 9. The area is ready to host the event and is selling tickets online.

Saalfelden Leogang is perfectly set up and looking forward to its biggest bike event ever. "We're ready for great sport here in Saalfelden Leogang. We successfully expanded our already existing infrastructure. Also we got a lot of support from volunteers to make this event an unforgettable show so we are really looking forward to the World Championships," said Kornel Grundner, head of organization of the world championships. "Considering the big names we will see and the very moderate ticket prizes, we expect great support from the mountain bike community."
