Participant’s top 3 events out of 6 will count towards their overall series Ranking which means there will be more competition from interstate riders.
“It’s great to be involved in the Real Insurance XCM Series again in 2012 particularly as it expands to Victoria” Real Insurance Head of Marketing , Anne Grobler said “As Australia’s biggest Mountain Bike Series we look forward to increasing the profile of Mountain Biking in this country”.
After a tightly contested Series in 2011 there is no doubt the Series will be one to watch during 2012.
