IMTTO event of year 2005: FORT WILLIAM
At last Friday's IMTTO meeting in Fort William, Scotland, IMTTO Vice President
Martin Whiteley surprised Mike Jardine and Lesley Beck of Rare Management, when
they were awarded a huge crystal trophy for their 2005 World Cup Event, voted
by 62 IMTTO Members as the event of the year. The two were at the meeting to
brief the membership on plans for the 2007 Worlds.
Unlike other event awards, IMTTO members vote on all MTB events, not just World
Cups. This means every event on the 2005 calendar, regardless of their
affiliations, or event style, are considered by the members.
Fort William wins event of the year 2007
For the 3rd consecutive year, the international mountain bike teams, tech
support and race organizers organization (IMTTO) has awarded the prestigious
"IMTTO Event Of The Year" trophy to Rare Management.
In 2007 they were the organizers of the UCI Mountain Bike and Trials World
Championships in the classic venue of Fort William, Scotland. Close to 60
members voted (teams and tech support companies only), and of the 25 events
voted for, it was clear that Fort William was again the obvious favorite.
