Mountain bike marathon world championships 2005

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2005 Mountain Bike Marathon World Championships took place on August 20 as part of the Birkebeinerrittet Marathon in Lillehammer . The marathon ran over a largely technically undemanding route, so that the course of the race was similar to that of a road race. Many cross-country specialists took part, who were also successful.
