Nové Město is Calling on Fans to Create a New Record

The loudest cheering during the bicycle race is sought. This will be the record, which will be set on Sunday, May 25, by fans during the Mountain Bike World Cup Race. Birell, the partner in the Czech competition of the MTB World Cup will take the measurements. Breaking the record is yet another motivating factor for fans to create an excellent atmosphere at Novém Město and thus help the organisers obtain the hoped-for hosting position for the World Championship in 2016. Their competition is the German Albstadt. In the case of earning the hosting privileges for the Czech Republic, Birell will donate 2016 non-alcoholic beers to the celebrations.

“Come to Nové Město during the weekend and help us to create an even better atmosphere than in past years. We believe that if we show the representatives of the international bicycling union (UCI) that the Czech Republic loves mountain bikes more than Germany, we should be able to influence their decision,” said the general manager of the World Cup in Novém Město Ján Svorada.

There is one unique thing that no one can take from Nové Město: It will be the first bicycle race where the cheering of fans will be measured and the record for the loudest cheering during the bicycle race will be recorded. The measurements will be provided by the partner of the Nové Město World Cup race, the non-alcoholic beer brand Birell.

“Birell is the ideal refreshment for the active lifestyle. We would also like to refresh the atmosphere of the race and motivate the fans to cheer to the best of their capabilities. This can help the Czech Republic earn the hosting privileges of this exceptional sporting event,” said Luděk Baumruk, Birell brand marketing manager.

The measurement for the volume of cheering will take place during all three Sunday races at the starting and finishing marks in the arena Vysočina.
