South America already started to host world-class events in recent years. So the organizers put together a very interesting schedule for Downhill racers all over the world that might be especially tempting for all the participants of the iXS Cups. Not only is it exciting to travel and explore unknown places, but there is another special reward as the points collected in the South American Cup will be added to the overall iXS standings.
The first race will invite the riders to Bariloche in Argentina from 23-24 January 2016. The track at Cerro Catedral was especially developed for this purpose and already awaits everybody who'd like to give it a go. After that, the second event takes you all to La Parva, near Santiago de Chile, from 5-6 February 2016.
But that is still not all: between those two races lies the opening race of the South American season with the Open Shimano Latam. In total, iXS offer you 3 weekends of high-class downhill racing in a row. However, riders who want to take part in Argentina’s race will have to meet some requirements. For example it will be mandatory for participants to own a UCI license, as the resulting points will be added to the official UCI Rankings, as well as the iXS Standings. (For more information see the regulations section on the website).
The registrations have officially been opened. For more information visit the official website.
