All we get is DH this, XC that, 4X if you're lucky.
Well I'm sick of this discrimination, SICK OF IT.
Are there ANY mtb hill-climbs anymore?
Probably better off emailing the UCI if you want a serious answer...
But the truth is probably that most people would rather [url= http://metro.co.uk/2012/01/09/watching-paint-dry-championship-attracts-international-interest-279060/ ]watch paint dry[/url] than competitive uphill MTBing...
They had a hill climb at the Durango worlds which was the first under the auspices of the UCI but I'm not sure they bothered after that.
There was once upon a time at Mammoth Mountain in California won by Derbyshire's Tim Gould. Some proper legends there including Tomac in the DH with his funky Tioga discdrive. Overend, Giove etc etc.
