A photo that could soon be a thing of the past: Nino Schurter (left) and Mathias Flückiger racing over the World Cup course in Lenzerheide.

Nino Schurter won his 34th World Cup race in Lenzerheide last weekend, becoming the most successful mountain biker in World Cup history. But it could have been the last time the World Cup stopped at Lenzerheide.

In 2024, Crans-Montana will become the World Cup station in Switzerland, as a dress rehearsal for the 2025 World Championships in Valais. Whether races will be held again at the highest level in Lenzerheide after that is an open question. One reason for this is the huge increase in costs due to the change of broadcaster.

As learned in circles from the previous organizers, the financial outlay for a World Cup event under the umbrella of ambitious rights holder Warner Bros. about ten times higher than before. It’s a premium meant to add value to the product, but poses a huge challenge to several of the tried and tested hosts. (SDA)
