World-class mountain biking combined with a festival for real bike fans all over the world \u2013 it will definitely inspire Innsbruck, the capital of the Alps, in the same way as the participants and spectators will get fascinated by Innsbruck\u2019s unique alpine flair,\u201c says Karin Seiler-Lall, Innsbruck Tourism CEO.<\/p>\n<p>The 2017 calendar year marks a decade and a half of Crankworx competition, and the third year of the Crankworx World Tour. Innsbruck will become the fourth stop of this tour, joining Rotorua, New Zealand, Les Gets, France and Whistler, the Canadian home base of the tour.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve had a vision for a while to share Crankworx with some of the best mountain destinations in the world. It has been the defining celebration of this sport for some time, but taking our community out to new international locations for fans to connect with and ride alongside the athletes has really taken it to a whole new level,\u201c says Darren Kinnaird, Crankworx World Tour General Manager.<\/p>\n<p>An ancient city with plenty of European ambiance, Innsbruck\u2019s burgeoning trail system has also received strong reviews from those who have raced or ridden in the area.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have been riding a few different trails there and it\u2019s insanely good riding. I was surprised by how many trails, good mixture\u2014some flowy, technical and some big hills around. It\u2019s a cool scene to go to,\u201d said Colombian downhill star Marcelo Guti\u00e9rrez, who earned his fourth Garbo DH win this week.<\/p>\n<p>Innsbruck offers a unique combination of urban and alpine lifestyle, and will likely combine both elements in its Crankworx stop, potentially even working in competitions like the pump track into the inner city scene.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs Crankworx grows, we\u2019re learning the locations and cultures we visit like to put their own spin on the festival and it\u2019s definitely added to how we perceive mountain biking and its fans. We\u2019ve been influenced by our stops in Rotorua and France, and never cease to be surprised by the number of fans who make the journey to other international stops, inspired by the athletes they\u2019ve seen compete,\u201d says Kinnaird.<\/p>\n<p>Exact dates for all of the 2017 Crankworx World Tour stops will be released in the fall of 2016.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.crankworx.com\">www.crankworx.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad3] WHISTLER, CANADA,\u00a0August 21, 2016\u2014The Crankworx World Tour, born out of Whistler\u2019s 10-day celebration of gravity-mountain biking, will grow to add another international location for summer 2017: Innsbruck, Austria.
