After 1998 and 2010, this is the third time MontSainte-Anne and Gestev will play host to UCI Mountain Bike World Championships — that’s a world first on the UCI circuit for any host venue or organizing committee. As well as hosting three UCI World Championships, Mont-SainteAnne and Gestev have presented no fewer than 25 UCI Mountain Bike World Cup events, every year since 1991. This year marks the 30th anniversary of the UCI Mountain Bike World Championships.
The UCI Mountain Bike World Championships is the biggest single race of the year. Mont-Sainte-Anne, Canada, hosts the event for the third time. Who will leave Canada with the rainbow stripes?
With the increasing popularity of e-MTB, UCI announced last year that e-MTB had been integrated into the UCI Regulations. The first ever e-MTB World Champion will be crowned this year at Mont-Sainte-Anne. The race will be held on August 28th, just before the weekend of the elite competitions (August 30th to September 1st). To learn more about the race format, click here.
