The Series has been rebranded, but still caries a hefty accompaniment of prizes, prize money and remain the only national race series in the world with UCI ranking points. £10k in prize money and over £15k in prizes is up for grabs, plus the chance to earn enough points to head to the World Cup.

Parking and spectating is free and onsite at the DH Series, plus there’s live timing and commentating, retail and display stands, catering and toilets (with toilet roll, organisers say). International invites have gone out and regulars like Steve Peat, The Athertons, Greg Minaar, Brendan Fairclough and Josh Bryceland should put in an appearance.
