Well.. well indeedy.
Shall we hedge bets on Ft William being a continental series race to boot? There's definitely a strong argument for having one of them in the UK.
I didn't realise the UK was so short on DH venues. Sod going all the way to Fort Bill twice.

There's talk of it being the Euro Champs, but i can't see there being 3 rounds there.

It's usually FW and Glencoe, so that's a bit better due to facilities that they've dropped Glencoe.
We usually have Rheola which is a loss to the boy as he loves it, but Cwmcarn replacing it is a weird one, that'll be a track many haven't ridden (including us) and will need some practicing on (including us).
We've not ridden Llangollen, mayn people ride there a LOT and we've not ridden Revs so we'll have to fix that too !!! Tough year ahead it seems

Aye, plenty of places to ride downhill, less that can host a decent national race.

Yep, I can't see them having a cup race, British champs and Euros. That's a bit much.
That said, the cup round could (wishfully) also count towards the Continental series, rather like Les Arcs in June.

Cwmcarm had uplift until last year. Revs same and back open. Llangollen does uplift.
You ignored the advice to ride these places and picked UCI Stile Cop and FOD KOM instead.
