1991It was 24 years ago that two American riders, John Tomac and Sara Ballantyne, became the first winners of the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup. The year was 1991, and the World Cup series comprised nine rounds in seven countries, catering for Cross-country Olympic (XCO) specialists only.

1993 Two years later the downhill (DHI) format joined the programme, crowning two German athletes this time: Jürgen Beneke and Regina Stiefl. Interestingly, John Tomac, XCO winner in 1991, took second place in the inaugural downhill World Cup as well as second in the XCO.

1998 - 20011998 was the year that the dual slalom – the forerunner of four-cross – made its debut in the World Cup. Dual slalom involved knock-out heats with two riders racing on parallel courses, and it featured in the World Cup for four years. American Brian Lopes and Australian Katrina Miller won the overall classification the first year.

2002 - 2011After four years on the programme, the dual slalom was replaced by four-cross (4X) in which four riders race against each other on a single course. Winner of three of the four dual-slalom World Cups, Brian Lopes went on to dominate the first year of four-cross. In the women’s competition victory went to France’s Anne-Caroline Chausson, already winner of the dual-slalom in 2000.

2012-2014Cross-country Eliminator was the latest mountain bike format to join the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup from 2012 to 2014. This spectacular format for XCO specialists sees four competitors race head-to-head over a lap of around a kilometre. Introduced to the World Cup with three events in 2012, six Eliminator rounds appeared in 2013 and 2014 with the overall classifications going to Belgium’s Fabrice Mels and Switzerland’s Kathrin Stirnemann.

UCI MOUNTAIN BIKE WORLD CUP PRESENTED BY SHIMANO A BRIEF RUNDOWNThe UCI Mountain Bike World Cup has a long, colourful history and enjoys a solid following through-out the world. Over the years, the UCI has modified the format and introduced new initiatives in or-der to keep up with evolving trends and meet the expectations of athletes and fans.

EVOLUTION OF THE UCI MOUNTAIN BIKE WORLD CUP


BEST EVENTSThe UCI Mountain Bike World Cup rewards not only the best athletes but also the best organisers. Each year, UCI Mountain Bike Teams, sponsors, and UCI officials vote for the top events for each of the two formats: cross-country and downhill. This creates healthy competition between the organisers and encourages them to stage events of the highest quality.

Cross-Country Olympic: Mont-Sainte-Anne (CAN)Since its first involvement with the UCI World Cup in 1991, the Canadian resort has become a not-to-be-missed feature on the calendar. Hosting its 26th UCI event this year, this classic rendezvous was voted best XCO event thanks to its excellent organisation and ever-popular course that every year boasts innovations.

Downhill: Fort William (GBR)This legendary spot in the Scottish Highlands wins the “best event” vote for 2016. Also host of the 2007 UCI Mountain Bike & Trials World Championships, Fort William organised a World Cup stopover for the 15th time in 2016. Several times winner of the “best event” award, the Scottish destination again won over the voters thanks to its course, large crowds, unique atmosphere, watertight organisation and team facilities: in summary, a fantastic promotion for the discipline.

UCI MOUNTAIN BIKE WORLD CUP PRESENTED BY SHIMANO


CROSS-COUNTRY OLYMPIC (XCO)Cross-country Olympic format races are held over undulating circuits (with technical descents, forest roads, rocky paths and obstacles) of 4 to 6 km, which riders must complete several times. The Elite racing times, for men and women, vary from 1h20 minutes to 1h40 minutes. An attractive course design that shows the discipline well on television and also spectator friendly is a necessity!

DOWNHILL (DHI)Downhill is a race against the clock in which the rider negotiates a succession of fast and technical passages. The participant must demonstrate courage as well as sharp technical and piloting skills in order to battle tree roots, rocks, banked sections, bumps, jumps and other natural obstacles along the way.

2017 CALENDAR


LOURDES / FRADHI For the third consecutive year, the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup presented by Shimano kicks off in Lourdes with a round 100% dedicated to downhill. Since 2015, riders and fans have appreciated this opening event in the foothills of the Pyrenees, which offers a stunning view of the French market town. Along with Fort William and Leogang, Lourdes is one of three downhill-only events on this year’s UCI Mountain Bike World Cup calendar.

PRESENTATION OF THE ROUNDS

The complete competition programme is available on the UCI website.

NOVE MESTO NA MORAVE / CZEXCOThree weeks after Lourdes, the cross-country Olympic specialists will put their skills to the test in the Czech Republic. A regular host of the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup presented by Shimano and voted “best event” of the series five years running, Nove Mesto na Morave returns to the UCI World Cup after hosting the UCI Mountain Bike Cross-country World Championships last year. A stand-out feature is the start/finish area in the impressive biathlon stadium, which hosted the 2013 Biathlon World Championships.



--


ALBSTADT / GERXCOThe German venue will organise an XCO round of the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup for the fifth time since it first joined the calendar in 2013. The Albstadt bike park was created in 2004 and features a combination of physically-demanding passages and technical sections. The venue in south-west Germany is popular with XCO riders, some of whom use it to prepare for the World Cup. Albstadt has been awarded the 2020 UCI Mountain Bike Cross-country Olympic World Championships.



--


FORT WILLIAM / GBRDHIAfter first joining the UCI World Cup in 2002, this British stopover features on the calendar for the 16th time. Also host of the 2007 UCI Mountain Bike & Trials World Championships, this spot in the Scottish Highlands is a not-to-be-missed destination on the DHI calendar. Clear evidence of this was that Fort William was voted several times winner of the “best event” award.

LEOGANG / AUTDHIThe Saalfelden-Leogang bike park opened in 2001 and has become one of the most popular European meetings for downhillers. The Austrian winter sports resort, not far from Salzburg, joined the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup in 2010 and hosted the 2012 UCI Mountain Bike World Championships (Downhill/4X) followed by the 4X Worlds in 2013 and 2014. With its spectacular views, Leogang once again promises to be sensational. Leogang has been awarded the 2020 UCI Mountain Bike Downhill World Championships.

VALLNORD / ANDXCO / DHIThe first combined XCO/DHI round of the 2017 UCI Mountain Bike World Cup presented by Shimano will take place in the Vallnord Bike Park in La Massana, Andorra, in the heart of the Pyrenees. Riders will square off on the same terrain that saw the world’s best battle it out for the rainbow jersey at the 2015 UCI Mountain Bike & Trials World Championships.

LENZERHEIDE / SUIXCO / DHIThe Swiss alpine resort of Lenzerheide hosts its third consecutive combined event which has become known for its exciting XCO competitions and thrilling DHI racing featuring high-speed passages and spectacular jumps. This year’s event will serve as a rehearsal for the 2018 UCI Mountain Bike World Championships which will take place in the Swiss resort in September next year.

MONT-SAINTE-ANNE / CANXCO / DHIThe Canadian round has been an integral part of the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup since 1991. This highlight of the World Cup takes place at one of the “Sommets de Saint Laurent” in Quebec and deserves its reputation as a Mecca of mountain biking. Proof of its popularity: in 2016 it was voted “best XCO event” of the 2016 UCI Mountain Bike World Cup presented by Shimano.

VAL DI SOLE / ITAXCO / DHIThe Italian resort in Trentino will host the final round which sees the crowning of the overall XCO and DHI winners of the 2017 UCI Mountain Bike World Cup. A regular host of the World Cup, Val di Sole also organised the UCI Mountain Bike & Trials World Championships in 2008, and the Downhill/4X Worlds last year. For the third year in a row, the 4X Worlds will take place in Val di Sole.

In total, 139 teams from 30 countries have been registered for the 2017 season. Two nations - Slovakia and the Republic of Korea - have registered a team for the first time.An overall increase in the number of teams and riders is particularly noticeable in the Olympic discipline, which sees the registration of nine more Endurance (XC) teams and nearly 50 more riders than in 2016.

As in previous years, 30 teams (15 Endurance teams and 15 Gravity teams) have been awarded UCI ELITE Mountain Bike status. Invitations to join this higher tier of teams were issued to the top 12 Endurance (XC) teams of a special ranking which was established based on the individual UCI points won by the riders up until December 31st 2016. Invitations to the top 12 Gravity (DHI) teams were issued on the basis of the individual riders’ final 2016 UCI World Cup standings and 2016 UCI World Championships results. The three remaining teams of each format (XC and DHI) were selected at the UCI’s discretion. UCI ELITE Mountain Bike teams benefit from advantages including free entry to all races on the UCI Mountain Bike International Calendar in the discipline in which the team has ELITE status. This includes free entry, and an obligation to enter at least one rider, into all rounds of the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup presented by Shimano.
