This Sunday, August 9th, the <strong>2020 Unior Downhill Cup<\/strong> starts in <strong>Bike park Pohorje<\/strong> above the city of <strong>Maribor<\/strong> with <strong>DH Visit Pohorje<\/strong>. This is also this year\u2019s Slovenian National Championships race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year\u2019s races will be single-day events. In case of Maribor this means the semi-final and final runs held on Sunday. But the track will open for practice on Friday even if it remains open for all park guests until Sunday\u2019s event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year Maribor will host no less than four downhill races. After UDC opening race, the iXS European Downhill Cup follows on September 25-27, then two Mercedes UCI Mountain Bike World Cup races from October 15 to 18. There are not many possibilities to alter the track with the exception of some short sections so it remains practically the same for all events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Slovenia vs. Austria<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Along with Slovenians there will be a number of Austrians getting familiar with the track this weekend, headed by <strong>David Trummer<\/strong> (The YT Mob), the UCI ranking #8, and <strong>Valentina H\u00f6ll<\/strong> (SRAM TLD Racing), #11 of women\u2019s ranking in her first elite season. This is also the qualification race for Team Austria for 2020 World Championships in Leogang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So the main favourites for Slovenian Champion titles, <strong>Jure \u017dabjek<\/strong> (Unior Devinci Factory Racing) and <strong>Monika Hrastnik<\/strong> (Team Dorval AM) wil have some good rivals on track. Jure will be defending his 2019 title and going for his 5th in elite category which would make him the most successful in the 29-year history of the Championships. Slovenian didn\u2019t have an elite women\u2019s Cham in 2019 while Monika will try to grab her 4th title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s Sunday\u2019s <strong>schedule<\/strong>: practice from 9am to 1pm, semi-final run from 2pm and final from 4.30pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2019 DH Visit Pohorje video<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Unior Downhill Cup 2019 - #2 Maribor - Race day\" width=\"1290\" height=\"726\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wxH-NB0X-YA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Timed practice and other goodies for riders<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The organizers made sure the riders will have a great weekend even if the official part is only on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First: the organized <strong>timing during practice<\/strong> on Friday (from 3pm to 6.40pm) and Sunday (from noon to 6.40pm). For the price of 10\u20ac a rider gets a timing transponder for two days. Times will be live online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All riders with transponders will also be in the <strong>draw for a pair on Kenda Tires<\/strong>, event\u2019s title sponsor. Tires of their choice since the Try Before Ya Buy test center in gondola base is well stocked. The tires will also be on sale all weekend for -30%. The draw will be held after Sunday\u2019s award presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/uniordownhillcup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/200804_dhvisitpohorje_kenda-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/uniordownhillcup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/200804_dhvisitpohorje_kenda-640x360.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"46166\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/uniordownhillcup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/200804_dhvisitpohorje_kenda-scaled.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/uniordownhillcup.com\/2020\/downhill-visit-pohorje-monika-in-jure-dobita-dobro-druzbo\/200804_dhvisitpohorje_kenda\/\" class=\"wp-image-46166\" srcset=\"https:\/\/slodhcup.pumptrack.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/200804_dhvisitpohorje_kenda-640x360.jpg 640w, https:\/\/slodhcup.pumptrack.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/200804_dhvisitpohorje_kenda-1280x720.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>And another nice one for the riders: <strong>accommodation packages<\/strong> in Hotel Arena are available along with entry fees.
