Press Release: iXS Downhill CupThe time has come, the long-awaited race dates for the 2024 season can be published. A jam-packed calendar with some new locations and popular classics means we can expect a season full of travelling and excitement. Here are the dates of the iXS series.
As every year around this time, the dates for the upcoming racing season can finally be published. It was a lot of hard work, but a look at the individual series shows that it was worth it. After the Corona period had quite a strong impact on the competition industry and nobody really knew what would happen afterwards, last year's season already showed that the demand for high-quality racing events is back. The aim was therefore to offer the individual series again in full size and variety.
iXS European Downhill Cup
The iXS European Downhill Cup will take place next season with a total of seven races and will once again spread across half of Europe. The flagship series from Racement will be taking place in Spain for the first time and will therefore challenge the travelling habits of the participants. A total of six countries will be visited, with the venues consisting of old favourites and interesting new destinations. One thing is for sure, anyone who ventures onto these tracks should make good use of the off-season.

Of course, the classics such as Winterberg, Ilmenau and Bellwald are not missing, but for the first time, a former European Cup track in Spicak in the Czech Republic will also be featured. So if you want to experience a great weekend with your racing buddies, you should make a note of these dates in your diary.

So as you can see, 2024 is going to be a pretty busy year. In particular, the iXS European Downhill Cup will accompany the World Cup's steps towards more difficult access with a strong and extensive series. As always, series registrations will be open in February, so you can already book your participation in a relaxed manner. The individual registrations will then open again approx. 8 weeks before the respective race.

well done UCI
There will be two UCI class 1 events on the same weekend, in the same country! That's not helping any privateer looking for those precious world cup qualifying points.
People can (and will) criticise the UCI and the system all they like, but this is doesn't look good for either of the organisers. Do you have any interaction between yourselves and other race series planners?
Of course, we don't want two races on the same weekend in the same country.
Anyway agreeing it sucks having to choose between two races on the same weekend. 1st for the racers and 2nd also for the organisers of both events.
Moving on, I sincerely hope that both parties can learn and improve from this situation and consider dialogue when planning future events.
I wish I had the memory for more important things!
