Fort William Wins Event of the Year

In 2007 Rare Management were the organisers of the UCI Mountain Bike and Trials World Championships in the classic venue of Fort William, Scotland. Close to 60 members voted (teams and tech support companies only), and of the 25 events voted for, it was clear that Fort William was again the obvious favourite as it wins event of the year.

Unlike other awards, this one takes into consideration any mountain bike event held in 2007, and is voted on by the industry main players when it comes to mountain bike racing and events.

"The feedback we get from our members in this voting process is extremely valuable. We pass on that constructive feedback to the various organizers in order to help them further improve their already excellent events. As an organization, the role of IMTTO is to further assist the events in their growth and therefore further secure the future of mountain bike racing as a viable sport for our members. The trophy we have awarded to Rare Management symbolizes this aim." ­ IMTTO President, Martin Whiteley.

Those at Fort William would like to thank everyone for being part of such a special event as they look forward to aiming for award number 4 at this year's World Cup, 6-8 June.
