(Really) Early bird tickets go online November 30th 2021 ahead of the return of World Cup downhill to Nevis Range this coming May.
If you’re the kind of person who likes to plan things months in advance, then you’ll be pleased to know that you can now get your hands on early (understatement much) bird tickets for the Fort William World Cup which takes place May 21-22 2022.
Early Bird tickets are now on sale for the Fort William leg of the 2022 Mercedes-Benz UCI Mountain Bike World Cup, as the event gears up for its much-anticipated return to the Scottish Highlands.
The exhilarating event is ‘Back in the Fort’ and will attract thousands of spectators to witness over 250 of the world’s top riders battle it out for the Downhill World Cup and 4X Pro Tour titles, on Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 of May next year.
The return of the Fort William UCI Mountain Bike World Cup also has a new main partner for 2022. Online bike retailer Freewheel.co.uk is sponsoring the event as well as being part of the Madison Saracen Team, one of the leading UCI Elite Teams. Everyone is excited at the prospect of outstanding downhill action returning to the famous Nevis Range track on Aonach Mor.
After two years of Covid-induced cancellation, the Fort William World Cup will be back with a bang and will feature homegrown champion, Reece Wilson, who won the 2020 Downhill World Championships – the first Scot to take the title.
Early-bird tickets will go on sale from 9am on Tuesday 30 November, allowing fans to save around 20% on full price tickets.
Mike Jardine, of organisers Rare Management, said: “The challenge of COVID has meant that we’ve missed out on two years of thrilling action but we’re delighted that next year we’ll all be back in the Fort.
“Once again the Fort William fans will be able to welcome the world’s best riders to Scotland. What’s even more exciting is that the crowds will be able to cheer on our Scottish Champion, Reece Wilson, and for the first time, truly acknowledge his amazing achievement in 2020.
“An Early Bird ticket is a perfect Christmas gift for the mountain bike lover in your life and we’d encourage fans to snap them up now so they ensure they’re there for our exciting return. We can’t wait to welcome the crowds back to the legendary spectacle that is Fort William.”
Endura, the World Cup’s official cycling clothing company, will give ticket purchasers the chance to plant a tree as part of their drive to become CO2 negative by 2024. So far, they have planted more than 85,000 trees in Scotland and 2million trees in Mozambique.
