In Austria 29" and 27.5" (and 26.75" and 28.25 and ...), all wheels larger than 26" had been forbidden for all categories U17 and younger since 2012! - Until now!
But, in agreement to the UEC, all participants at the UEC European Youth Mountainbike Championships 11.-15.08.2014 in Graz/Stattegg  have to use the same Bike and the same wheel-dimension for all competitions!!!
This rule is also valid for foreign participants at the MTB Combined within  the Austria Youngsters Cup 2014.

A great challenge for the European junior and U23 mountain bikers!

The UEC Mountainbike European Cup - XCO Juniors/U23 in the middle of Europe shall be the pulser for the progression of young mountain bikers. The European Cycling Union hopes to have found the missing link on the way of the young riders between the UEC European Youth Mountainbike Championships U15/U17 and a carreer as a pro in World Cup. The tight completion, 4 Races within 5 weeks, at the beginning of the season shall assure the genesis of a real race flow. The "Tour de Bike" starts on the 31st of march and ends on the 5th of may, when the European Cup winners will be presented in Graz/Stattegg.
