Big changes for 2014 are that the UCI has taken media advice and moved the Downhill from Sunday to Saturday with the XCO now on Sunday as the final event.
Also the XCE has been dropped from the South African round due to a change in event timing as the UCI looks to standardize viewing times for the media guys. XCE will now take place in the evenings (around 7pm) on Fridays at European events under floodlights if necessary …
Also note that the dates for the Pietermaritzburg event are from the 9th to the 13th April 2014 and NOT the 5th and 6th as originally posted in the UCI’s preliminary calendar that went out on the international websites last year.
You can see the schedule below or download the pdf below that.
Bleak, no XCE!!
