The Malta Mountain Bike Association (MMBA) will be launching the MTB Cross Country Summer Cup tomorrow. Barilla are the main sponsors of this event. The Summer Cup was successfully introduced some years ago by keen cyclist Etienne Bonello.
A considerable number of riders usually take part in these races which are shorter in distance when compared with the championship. Nevertheless, the Summer Cup races are tough and very demanding especially when the heat factor is taken into consideration.
Programme: Race One - Miziep (tomorrow) Elite 31km, Sport 18.6km; Race Two - Delimara (Saturday, July 27) Elite 28.8km, Sport 19.2km; Race Three - Pembroke (Saturday, August 10) Elite 16.8km, Sport 14km.
