Canada will now host two cross country UCI World Cups in 2007.
The city of Saint Félicien in Quebec, Cananda, has been selected as the venue for the replacement fifth round World Cup on the weekend of July 1 to make up for the round originally awarded to Angel Fire Resort in New Mexico. While the cross country will still be held for the newly located round five, the four cross and downhill have been cancelled.
Saint Félicien joins Mont-Sainte-Anne as another Quebec location. Mont-Sainte-Anne will host round four of the cross country world cup and round three of the gravity events on June 23, one week earlier. The proximity of the two events should minimize travel time and expense for participants.
The CCA, the Fédération Québécoise des Sports Cyclistes (FQSC), and the organizers of the Mont-Sainte-Anne World Cup all supported Saint Félicien's first-time bid to host.
