Protection for a run between Genoa's facades

icon Frais médicaux

Fractures on stone steps, treatment up to €150,000

A front wheel sliding off a step or a foot slipping at a jump take-off, and the next stop is a wall or a railing. Collarbone, wrist, concussion: medical costs are covered up to €150,000, including scans, surgery and a hospital stay in Genoa.

icon Transport et rapatriement

Repatriation from Liguria at actual cost

After a heavy crash, leaving a city centre packed with spectators takes real organisation. Assistance and repatriation at actual cost cover evacuation from the course to hospital, then your journey home, whether you live in Italy, France or on another continent.

icon Option compétition

Genoa today, the next race tomorrow: Competition option

For a pro rider, Genoa is one stop in a season full of downhill and urban races. The Competition option covers the official race and all your competitions across the season, while training sessions between events stay covered too.

icon Capital invalidité

When a jump goes wrong, a capital for what comes next

Urban downhill combines high speed with hard obstacles, so serious injuries to the spine, knee or head are a real risk. If lasting effects remain once your condition has stabilised, the permanent disability capital of up to €200,000 is paid according to the assessed rate.

Cobbles, steps and low walls: what brings riders down in Genoa

The course strings together narrow steps, right-angle turns, cobbles polished smooth over centuries and jumps built for the day. One wrong line puts a rider into a wall or a barrier. Late June heat, the adrenaline of the crowd and repeated practice runs also wear down forearms and focus.

Between events, a downhill rider's season plays out in bike parks, in the mountains and on race tracks. Dedicated downhill mountain bike insurance covers you at every session, in training and in races, at home and abroad, with the same guarantees for medical care, assistance and disability.

FAQ

Before the drop-in, riders' questions

Yes. Reconnaissance and practice on the course fall under the same guarantees as the race. A crash on a sighting run the day before, or that same morning, is handled just like an accident in competition.

Yes. Cover applies whatever your country of residence. A rider from South America, northern Europe or France gets the same guarantees during the event and for any repatriation that follows.

No. AxeoSport is not cancellation insurance: neither your trip to Genoa, your accommodation nor any entry fee is refunded. The policy covers the consequences of a bodily accident, nothing more.

Impacts with hard obstacles dominate: broken collarbones and wrists, sprains, concussions. Medical costs are covered up to €150,000 and the disability capital can reach €200,000 if lasting effects remain.

The amount depends on your profile and the guarantees you choose, including the Competition option you need to race. The online quote gives you the exact price before you sign up, in a few minutes.
