Mark your calendars and submit your leave requests because dates for the 2018 Crankworx World Tour have been announced.
In 2018, the celebration of mountain biking will once again bring together the world's best riders in four epic riding destinations.
Crankworx Rotorua will be held from March 17 to 25 and early-bird tickets go on sale December 1.
2018 will see the addition of Dual Slalom competitions in both Rotorua and Les Gets, the all-new Redwoods Downhill and slopestyles return to Saturday at three out of four Crankworx stops - Rotorua, Innsbruck and Whistler. There will be expanded women's programming at all four stops, and 15th anniversary celebrations at the final stop on the tour, Crankworx Whistler.
"Every year, at every stop, we listen to what athletes and fans are saying, then do our best to bring our events into alignment," said Crankworx World Tour general manager Darren Kinnaird.
