March 23, 2007 — Saint Félicien (QC), new venue in the 2007 Nissan UCI Mountain Bike World Cup presented by Shimano.

However, the downhill and 4 cross have unfortunately been cancelled.

Organising city of the Quebec Cup since 2000, Saint Félicien will host a round of the World Cup for the first time. It will be supported by the CCA (Canadian Cycling Association), the FQSC (Fédération Québécoise des Sports Cyclistes) and Gestev, organiser of the Mont-Sainte-Anne race.

A press conference (one in Québec and one in Saint-Félicien) will be organized soon to provide detailed information about the event. Details on the press conference to come.
