Selten hat eine 4X-Strecke so viel Aufmerksamkeit erregt wie die von Tomas Slavik geplante “ultimative” 4X-Strecke im neuen JBC Bikepark in Jablonec/Tschechien. Angesichts der ungewöhnlichen Strecke war die deutsche 4X-Nationalmannschaft schon vorab dort trainieren (wir berichteten).
Weite Sprünge, breite Strecke, technische Sektionen, Wald-Passage, Stein-Passagen, Wallride, Roadgap – die Strecke verspricht wirklich einiges! Am kommenden Samstag findet dort nun der vierte und somit vorletzte Stopp der 4X Pro Tour statt.
Das Beste: Es wird einen Livestream geben! Unter “http://uk.extreme.com/
Übertragungszeiten
Qualifikation: Freitag, 02. August – 17.00 Uhr
Rennen: Samstag, 03. August – 17.00 Uhr

The 2013 season has been spectacular so far. In the women’s, Britain’s Katy Curd has been unbeaten so far in the first three rounds. She has dominated this year and will be looking to re-enforce her series points lead in JBC Bikepark. Celine Gros and Lucia Oetjens will head up the challenge against Katy. The big question is, will any of the women hit the pro line doubles. We think they will….
Tomas Slavik heads into his home race with the series points lead. He is definitely the man to beat in 2013. Fellow countryman, Michal Prokop has been on Tomas back wheel all year, but an injury to his elbow recently will rule him out of the race at JBC. Scott Beaumont has been having his best ever season in 2013 and whilst currently in third overall in the points, will surely be looking to challenge Slavik and jump past Prokop in the overall points. Quentin Derbier has also been riding fantastic in 2013 and the tough track in Jablonec will be right up his street! Current European Champion Felix Beckeman will also be in contention. The Swedish rider is Tomas Slavik’s teammate so look for them to be team riding in practice with big whips for the crowds. Don’t rule out Joost Wichman. He will be back at this race and without a doubt will be in contention.
Be sure to watch out for all the other Czech riders. This track has been open for a while now and Tomas Slavik believes that a winner could come from a number of Czech riders….. Michal Mechura, Jakub Riha, Jakub Hnidak and many more will be pressuring for the win.
Riders can enter until Wednesday 1st August: https://4xprotour-jbc-.
