Leeds loses its World Cup Event

Britain's round of the World Cup has been switched to Rochester after five years in Leeds, the organisers said on Friday.

The British race on August 17, seventh of 10 rounds in the World Cup series, will be contested over 238 kilometres and will include some roads used by the Tour de France three years ago.

Leeds Council had a five-year contract with promoter Alan Rushton. ``We have decided not to take up our option to renew it,'' Alwyn Nowells, the Council's Head of Leisure, said.

Troubles for the KNWU

The 6 Dutch cyclecrossers for the world championships want 1600 guilders for starting instead of 400. No boycott yet; but they send today a letter to the KNWU.
