The PROPAIN Rookies Cup has a varied program to offer this year. A total of six races are on the calendar, three of which are new hosts. For the first time in the history of the series, which has been in existence since 2007, it is going to the Czech Republic, more precisely to Koprivna. This further reflects the international focus. In addition to the well-known hosts in Winterberg, Oberhof and Saalbach, there will also be Königsberg in Austria and Schulenberg in Germany.
As in previous years, some races will be fully booked and some athletes will not be able to get a starting place. Winterberg in particular is such a case, as everyone wants to show what they can do in front of a large audience at the iXS Dirt Masters. We therefore recommend that everyone who wants to ride the whole series should use the series registration. This avoids the stress of having to sit in front of your computer eight weeks before the race in order to get a starting place.
Insurance through Austria Member Card
Registration is now open with a slight delay and can therefore take place. The reason for the short delay was that it first had to be clarified that the Austria Member Card is valid for all those who want to take part in the Austrian races without a license. A detailed explanation can be found in the following article.
Registration iXS Rookies Championships
Registration for the iXS International Rookies Championships in Schladming Dachstein has also been opened. It is important to note that the Austria Member Card is also mandatory for all European non-licensed participants. Athletes from non-European countries require a license from their national federation.
