The following week, the tour moves to the IXS Dirt Masters Festival in Winterberg, Germany. The festival has hosted the Pro Tour seven times previously. However, after huge changes to the course over the last year, it’ll be a different challenge facing the riders in 2022.
Dobřany, Czech Republic, will take the riders back over to the east of Europe on July 9th. Another flat out track that has proved itself as a great spectacle when hosting two rounds of the European 4X Series in 2018 and 2019, as well as its inaugural round of the 4X ProTour last year.
There is no doubt that JBC 4X Revelations, will continue to prove itself as one of the wildest events on not only the 4X calendar but on the international MTB calendar. Jablonec nad Nisou, Czech Republic will host the legendary event and round 5 of the series on July 16th. Built by three-time World Champion, Tomas Slavik, both riders and bikes will be tested to their limit.
August 13th will see a new venue join the series, MSV Diehloer in Eisenhüttenstadt, Germany. The course that was built by seasoned 4X racer, Klaus Beige, has already seen some high energy racing action, back in 2016, hosting the 2016 German 4X National Championships. This event will be held in conjunction with the 2022 German 4X National Championships and will be an exciting finale to the 2022 4X ProTour.
Under the floodlights, in the renowned mountain bike racing mecca of Val Di Sole, the 2022 4X Pro Tour Series Champions will be crowned. Additionally, riders will have the chance to take the title of King and Queen of Val Di Sole. The course has been a rider favourite since its construction nearly 15 years ago, hailed for wide-open corners, floodlit racing, and constant overtaking.
