Next year the MTB Triad will pass, we could say, internationally. 2 competitions entered in the UCI calendar, an S2 in Avrig and a C1 in Păltiniș. Because of this, at least for us, the MTB Triad 2020 represents “the next level“.
And because only a few ideas have appeared publicly and we have already received many questions about what will be next year, we thought of providing more information even before updating the site triadamtb.ro.
Therefore, the first event of the MTB Triad 2020 will be held in Avrig from April 30 to May 3 and will be a staged competition. That is , 4 days of competition after which a general ranking will be drawn up. The competition is also included in the calendar of the International Cycling Union in the S2 category. The competition categories for the UCI race will be Elite Male and Elite Female. In parallel, the competition will also be open to amateur athletes, respectively to the age categories Men 19-29, Maculin 30-39, Male >40 and Women >19.
The 4 stages will have the following configuration:
- Stage 1 – Individual time trial (XCT) 10km with approx. 400m level difference.
- Stage 2 – Cross country point-to-point (XCP) 45km with approx. 1,250m level difference.
- Stage 3 – Cross country Olympic (XCO).
- Stage 4 – Cross country Marathon (XCM) 68km by approx. 1,500m level difference.
In addition to the stage competition at the MTB Avrig Triad, we will have other one-day competitions.
On Saturday , XCO competitions for children, cadets and juniors that will be held before the competitions that count for the stage race.
On Sunday we will have 3 routes:
- Fun, a route of 22km and approx. 250m level difference on which the categories Male Cadets, Cadets Women, Open Male 19, Open Female >>19, Family (parent + child), Corporate (team consisting of 2 employees of a company) will compete. This route is aimed especially at beginners.
