The GlemmRide Bike Festival in Saalbach Hinterglemm, Austria, is being held for the eighth time this year. In addition to the sporting highlights, there is also plenty of entertainment on the programme, so that there is also plenty on offer for the accompanying persons in particular. The Masters of Dirt Big Air Show will be a feast for the eyes, while the GlemmRide Sound Area with bands and DJs will be a treat for the ears. And if that's not enough, you can also find out about the latest trends in the well-stocked expo area.
However, the highlight for the young racers is the downhill race on the freshly shaped track with the telling name Pro Line. Root fields, stone passages, tables and gaps as well as banked turns are the ingredients for the race venue. Over 300 athletes from 25 nations have registered for the competition. As in Oberhof and Winterberg, the enormous international participation is extremely noticeable and proves the high status of the globally unique junior series.
So if you want to get a glimpse of who will be in the World Cup in the coming years, you should make your way to the side of the track. Because let's be honest, you've already seen the exceptional riding quality of current WC pros in the Rookies Cup, just as you will with some of the young guns in this year's race.
