The main professional MTB cyclists have come to compete to score points for the world championship.

On the weekend of April 6 and 7, Santa Susanna has once again become the capital of cycling, gathering around 3,000 people around the activities linked to the bicycle. A total of 890 cyclists took part directly in the set of MTB tests and family activities that made up the Bike Show festival, accompanied by around 2,000 people (teams, technicians and families), which shines with its own light on the cycling calendar. But the Bike Show is also a meeting that brings together professional MTB cyclists, who take part in the tests that are part of the international circuit and therefore qualify for the world championship.
