An extreme day today in Macheras mountains where the Cyprus National MTB Downhill Championships were held. Definitely not for the faint of heart! The race has run on the Macheras downhill track, which was built by the riders themselves to the standards of high-level downhill courses in Europe. A beast of a course with many and big jumps, lots of rocky and technical sections, some super-fast descends and extreme inclines that push the riders to their limits!

The very strange 2020 bike racing season comes to a wrap this weekend with the National MTB Downhill Championships 2020!

This is the technical guide for the event:
