Fort William is rewarded

THE UCI Mountain Bike World Cup in Fort William will stay in Lochaber for another two years, after the sport's governing body confirmed a new agreement until at least 2013. The news comes after thousands descended on the Nevis Range to witness one of the best competitions in the event's ten-year history.

Mike Jardine from event organisers Rare Management, said: "We're delighted the UCI has continued to recognise the classic status of Fort William."
