Timetable, Covid-19 measures, Austrian athlete Vali Höll,... at the UCI 2020 Mountainbike World Championships from 7th to 11th October in Saalfelden Leogang

Today, schools opened in the east of the country and people look optimistic into the future - always with an eye on the pandemic which isn't over yet. Austrians have worked on concepts to handle security measures at events such as the organizers of the upcoming UCI 2020 Mountainbike World Championships (downhill inclusively the disciplines cross-country and e-mountain bike) from 7th to 11th October in Saalfelden Leogang, district Zell am See in Salzburg. Central to the concept for the UCI MTB at Bikepark Leogang are rules for physical distance, especially to the participating athletes and teams. In general, it's recommended to keep a distance of 1,5 meters at the whole area indoors and outdoors, and to use the offered hand sanitizers. At bikewm2020.com, details like timetable or how to get access as a volunteer to the sports event, where no spectators are allowed (fast checked today), are published. The racings will be live streamed via ORF Sport+ (in Austria) and Red Bull TV.
