Luke Webber brings you five defining images from the opening of the 2011 Dalby World Cup and Pro Sprint Eliminator.

There's no mistaking the fact: The UCI Mountain Bike World Cup is in town.

Spectators lined the pavement, as mountain bikers took over the streets of Pickering.

An evening of entertainment was the warm-up set before the main event in the Forest.

Sprint finishes were the order of the night...

Before spectators flooded the streets for the presentations and a long afterparty!
