Cycling: Sunshine and warm temperatures are a blessing for most athletes. However, they are not optimal for athletes who want to conjure up tricks on the snow with their mountain bikes. Therefore, the White Style, the only event of the FMB World Tour on snow, cannot take place on January 30th as planned. February 13 is planned as the new date for the extraordinary season kick-off.
If it were an ordinary mountain bike event, sun and spring-like temperatures would be the best conditions. But the White Style is anything but ordinary and unfortunately there is not enough snow for the meter-high obstacles at the moment. "Unfortunately, the weather forecast indicates that we will not be able to meet the original date of January 30th," explains organizer Kornel Grundner from the Leoganger Bergbahnen.

The 20 invited drivers and the fans now have two additional weeks to look forward to this season highlight, as February 13 has been set as an alternative date for the White Style. Now we have to keep our fingers crossed that the weather conditions will develop positively and that enough white building material will come from the sky.
