The Asian Cycling Confederation (ACC) and City Mountain Bike (CTM) officially signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Monday to promote and develop Extreme Cross-Country (XCE) mountain bike racing throughout Asia.

The agreement is likely to lay the foundation for a sustainable competition network and create new opportunities for athletes, event organisers and host cities in the future.
