Crashed in a rock garden halfway through the race?

icon Frais médicaux

Collarbones, wrists and the Czech rock gardens

Nové Město's rock sections punish a front-wheel wash with broken collarbones, wrists and shoulders. Medical costs up to €150,000 pay for the treatment that follows, including scans, a hospital stay and surgery when the surgeon decides it is needed, whether you ride for a factory team or privately.

icon Transport et rapatriement

From the Vysočina woods back to your own front door

Course medics get you off the track, but what happens next matters if home is a long way off. Assistance and repatriation at actual cost arranges transfer to a suitable hospital, then your journey home once doctors say you are fit to travel, wherever you live.

icon Option compétition

Short track on Friday, XCO on Sunday, one competition option

The weekend packs two official starts: a frantic short track sprint and the full Olympic-format race. The Competition option covers you in both, and keeps covering you through the rest of your racing season, at other World Series rounds and national events alike.

icon Capital invalidité

If a drop landing goes wrong for good, €200,000 in capital

A botched drop landing or a head strike on rock can leave injuries that end or reshape a career. The permanent disability capital, up to €200,000, is paid according to the assessed level of disability, helping you adapt your home, your work and your life.

Mud, roots and a mass start, where Nové Město bites

Spring weather in the Czech highlands turns quickly, and one shower leaves roots and rock slabs as slick as ice. Add an elbow-to-elbow start, short punchy climbs that spike the heart rate, wooden bridges and a crowd roaring you into riskier lines, and crashes tend to come late, on the final lap, when focus fades.

Racing is only a sliver of the year. Winter base miles, altitude camps, regional races and the travel between World Series rounds all carry their own risks. Choosing mountain bike insurance that covers training and racing, at home and abroad, means you are not rebuilding your cover every time you pack the bike bag.

FAQ

What riders ask before racing Nové Město

Yes. The cover applies to training as well as racing, so practice laps in the days before the short track and the XCO are included within the policy limits, just like the races themselves.

Yes. The policy works in France and abroad, whatever your country of residence. A rider flying in from North America or Australia gets the same guarantees as one who drove over from Germany.

No. AxeoSport is not cancellation insurance, so it does not reimburse entry fees, flights or accommodation. It steps in after a bodily injury, for your medical care, your repatriation and, where relevant, a disability capital.

No. Your guarantees are the same on a dry track or a waterlogged one. On the bike, though, wet Czech roots catch out even seasoned riders, so tyre choice and scouting the B-lines matter more than ever.

The price depends on your profile, the length of cover you choose and whether you add the Competition option. The online quote gives you the exact figure in a few minutes, with no commitment.
