Can you feel the tension rising? The 2024 UCI Mountain Bike World Championships in Aalen are less than two months away! The medals are ready and waiting in the City Mountainbike headquarters, the dates for the rider registrations have been set: they will open on June 27 and close on July 3. More info about the registrations will be shared with the riders shortly!
Reigning European champions Ede-Karoly Molnar and Gaia Tormena haven’t missed the start of the 2024 UCI World Cup, each achieving a win already. In the meantime, in the allocation process for the 2024 UEC European Championships, we’ve whittled down the list of candidates to two. We’re so close to revealing the host town!
From Paris with Love
Round 1 of the UCI Mountain Bike Eliminator World Cup was a charm! In the heart of picturesque Montmartre, Paris, streets were packed with fans and racing was intense. In the end, Ede-Karoly Molnar from Romania and Marion Fromberger from Germany conquered the wins and the first UCI World Cup jerseys in front of the iconic Sacré-Coeur Basilica.?
?Qué alegría!
Barcelona never disappoints. UCI World Champion Gaia Tormena and French champion Lorenzo Serres were the big winners in the vibrant Catalan metropole, not only securing the race victories but also donning the prestigious UCI World Cup leader jerseys. Thrilling racing, a sunny taste of summer and a new track that proved itself: it was a great second round of the UCI World Cup! ?

Turkish Delight!
Next week, Sunday May 26, round 4 of the UCI World Cup brings us back to the impressive Ay?i?ek Bisiklet Vadisi bike stadium in Sakarya, Türkiye! A slight modification to the proven track could make racing even more physical: the steep climbing section has been widened, to offer the riders more chances to overtake. Attention: as in the previous years, the heats will consist of 1 lap instead of 2. The Turkish home riders are looking forward to challenge the eliminator stars. Are you as excited as they are? Make sure to follow live broadcasting from 16:00 local time (UTC +3). ?

Five by Five?
We’re heading to Leuven, Belgium for the third consecutive week of UCI World Cup racing. Round 5 on Sunday, June 2 will once again be decided on an urban, obstacle-filled but lightning-fast track in the heart of the historical city. Having a strong kick to the line will be crucial, as the tough finishing straight has been extended. Provisional start lists already look impressive right now, containing heaps of local riders. There’s so much to look forward to: a free kids event (register here), a shorttrack race, and of course, the eliminator spectacle, broadcasted live from 16:00 local time (UTC +2). ?

There’s still a bit of time until the first race of our 2024 Continental Series. Three rounds are on the 2024 calendar for now, but there are still chances for a fourth race being added. Anyone up for a additional event in, let’s say, Malaysia?
