Although the Araxá stage of the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup will only take place in five months, between April 18th and 21st, the local organization of the event – CIMTB – is already working hard to make the event a success. This week, sales of stands at the exhibition fair opened, which will bring together the main companies in the market, in what will be the biggest Expo that the Grande Hotel Termas de Araxá has seen to date when it comes to cycling events.
“The Araxá World Cup exhibition fair promises to be incredible. We will be holding the main international mountain biking circuit in a place that is probably one of the most traditional in world cycling. All this combined with the perfect structure that the Grande Hotel has, being a meeting point for the bike market for 20 years in our editions of the International Cup”, explains Rogério Bernardes, local organizer of the Araxá stage of the World Cup.
“The project we are designing will be the biggest ever in the history of CIMTB in Araxá.
