Leogang's downhill runs very fast, with long sequences of big jumps and root sections in the trees. Come up short on a landing and it is the wrist, the collarbone or the neck that takes the hit. Medical costs up to €150,000 cover treatment, a hospital stay and surgery.
The on-site medical crew gets you off the hill, but things get harder if home is hundreds of kilometres away. Assistance and repatriation at actual cost arrange transfer to a suitable hospital and then your journey home once you are stable enough to travel.
The programme mixes cross-country races, timed downhill runs and enduro stages, sometimes for the same all-round rider. The Competition option covers you in every official race of the round, then for the rest of your season, in Austria and at every other stop.
A spinal injury after a jump crash or a knee wrecked in the roots can leave lifelong consequences. The permanent disability capital pays up to €200,000 according to the assessed degree of disability, helping fund the changes your daily life will need.
In June, thunderstorms often break over the Salzburg Alps in the afternoon. A track that was dry in the morning turns greasy for finals, and wet roots in the woods slide out from under tyres. Downhill speeds leave little margin, while cross-country riders suffer on steep climbs before rough, punishing descents.
Whether you race downhill, enduro or cross-country, the risks do not stop when the World Series packs up. Bike park days, winter training, camps and regional races keep coming. Choosing downhill MTB insurance that covers you in training and racing, in France and abroad, keeps the same protection in place all year.
Saalfelden and Leogang sit side by side in Austria's Salzburger Land, between alpine meadows and the limestone cliffs of the Leoganger Steinberge. Busy all summer, the bike park welcomes the big names of gravity riding and cross-country racing for its World Series weekend.
Bringing cross-country, downhill and enduro together over a few days? We insure all your riders, across every discipline, under one policy. Medical assistance can be reached day and night, seven days a week, during the event, and repatriation is included. We can also become a partner or sponsor of your festival.
Yes. Cover applies to training as well as competition, so free riding on the Leogang trails before or after the round falls within the policy, subject to its usual limits.
No. AxeoSport is not cancellation insurance. Entry, hotel and travel are not reimbursed. The policy steps in only after a bodily injury, for medical care, repatriation and a possible disability capital.
Yes. Cover applies in France and abroad, whatever the insured person's country of residence. A racer from South Africa, Italy or the United States has the same guarantees at this round.
Every official race you enter, whether cross-country, downhill or enduro. It then stays with you for the rest of your competitive season, at other World Series rounds and national events.
