2011 is shaping up to be a momentous cycling year in Copenhagen as the city is hosting both the UCI BMX World Championships and the UCI Road Cycling World Championships. The BMX event takes place on July 28-31, just two months before the Road Worlds. Moreover, Roskilde (only 30 km from Copenhagen) has been awarded the UCI Para-cycling World Championships, also in 2011.
“With continual inspiration created through the UCI Bike City brand, Denmark is persistently looking for opportunities to strengthen the commitment to the sport of cycling. Hosting the 2011 UCI BMX World Championships and 2011 UCI Para-cycling World Championships in combination with the 2011 UCI Road World Championships offers a unique opportunity to create an unprecedented marketing platform that can serve as a benchmark for the sport in years to come. Also the sequence of these events will attract continual media exposure for cycling in Denmark,” says Lars Lundov, CEO, Sport Event Denmark.
“We presented a strong bid concept focusing on creating a breakthrough for BMX, establishing it as a dominant Olympic cycling discipline. We have hosted two very successful BMX Supercross World Cups in 2008 and 2009 as a part of the “Bike City Copenhagen” cooperation between Copenhagen and the UCI. A brand new BMX track in the centre of the city has received praise from BMX specialists, athletes and media and it is ranked among the best in the world,” says Jørgen Bitsch, president of the Danish Motor Union (Danish BMX Federation).
Lars Vallentin, Business Development Manager, Wonderful Copenhagen, the city’s tourism agency says: “The 2011 World Championships is crucial in building the right momentum for BMX. At our state of the art permanent BMX track Copenhagen is determined to create the best platform for the sport to grow and be promoted in the years leading up to the 2012 Olympics. Therefore we are also pleased to be hosting the BMX SX World Cup in 2010 before the best cycling year ever – 2011 in Copenhagen”.
