The Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) decided to grant the 2014 BMX World Championships to BMX Holland. The 2014 UCI BMX World Championships will be held on July 22-27 in Sportpaleis Ahoy, Rotterdam. “By granting this WC to the Netherlands another step is taken to professionalize this sport. The Dutch National Team has been ranked in top 10 positions for the last few years. Earlier UCI already assigned three BMX Supercross World Cups to the Netherlands, the story is completed by these 2014 World Championships. The goal is to make the most spectacular field in cycling more well known, therefore more popular and of a higher level”, says
Huib Kloosterhuis, director of the Dutch National Federation KNWU.
The candidacy for the World Championships was made possible by a close cooperation of KNWU, Rotterdam city of sports and BMX Holland and was supported by the Ministry of Sports and by the Dutch Olympic Committee.
