Unior Downhill Cup<\/strong>, the Slovenian international mountain bike downhill series, continues this weekend after a two-month break. After round one held in Bike park Javornik at the end of May, round two will be held in Bike and Fun park Cerkno<\/strong> on Saturday July 28 and Sunday 29<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The DH Cerkno<\/strong>\u00a0is a UCI Class 2<\/strong> race and also delivers points for Croatian National Series.<\/p>\n Last year Cerkno hosted the National Championships race and was also chosen as the best event of the year<\/strong>. The fast chairlift, an even faster track with lots of variety in sections and great organization by Pedal Team<\/strong> are the reasons why everyone loves to return to Cerkno.<\/p>\n There is not much new on the approximately 1700m track with 340m of elevation drop, says organization chief Martin Rupnik<\/strong>. \u00bbIt’s only more torn up now, just how a real downhill track should be, \u00ab he adds.<\/p>\n Not many international riders confirmed their participation by now (registration is open until Thursday) but we can confirm that last year’s series champion Jure \u017dabjek<\/strong> (Unior\/Devinci Factory Racing) will make his first appearance since his injury, as well as the Vice National Champ Luka Berginc<\/strong> (Blackthorn) who has been stepping on podiums in iXS European DH Cup and young guns Marko Niemiz<\/strong> and \u017dak Gomil\u0161\u010dek<\/strong> (both Sinter Brakes Team) who lately scored their iXS EDC victories. Monika Hrastnik and Miran Vauh though are been tired after two months of consecutive races and are taking a break.<\/p>\n It is a standard schedule for the weekend with practice runs on Saturday from 10am to 6pm. Sunday<\/strong>‘s race runs start at noon (semi-final) and 2.30pm (final)<\/strong>. There’s a summer music festival taking place in Cerkno so getting here on Friday is a good idea.
