Unveiled: The 2025 UCI Mountain Bike Eliminator World Cup Calendar!
Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) and City Mountainbike are pleased to unveil the race calendar for the 2025 UCI Mountain Bike Eliminator World Cup. The 2025 edition will feature eight exciting stops—three of which are brand new, including the first-ever rounds in Tajikistan and Greece!
The season kicks off on April 13th in Dushanbe, the capital of Tajikistan. As the first of three new host cities introduced in this year’s UCI World Cup, Dushanbe will feature a spectacular urban track set in the city’s central square, promising a breathtaking start to the season.
Next up are two well-established European rounds: Leuven (Belgium) on June 1st and Aalen (Germany) on July 12th. Both cities have previously hosted the UCI Mountain Bike Eliminator World Championships and will once again deliver lightning-fast street racing, guaranteeing a thrilling spectacle.
The action continues with back-to-back races in Sakarya (Türkiye) on August 10th and São Paulo (Brazil) on August 17th. After hosting the UCI Mountain Bike Eliminator World Championships on June 22nd, Sakarya will also welcome a UCI World Cup round—this time on a brand-new city track. Meanwhile, São Paulo, which made a successful debut in last year’s UCI World Cup, will once again challenge riders with a mix of urban and natural obstacles.
The second new addition to the 2025 calendar is Athens, Greece, where history and high-level eliminator racing will come together on September 7th. This round will take place in front of the Panathenaic Stadium, the historic venue of the first modern Olympic Games!
The 2025 season will conclude in October with the two final rounds: Barcelona, Spain (October 11th) and Chennai, India (October 19th). While Barcelona’s iconic track needs no introduction thanks to its rich UCI World Cup history, Chennai’s debut promises a fresh and exciting setting, featuring a unique track near the coastline!
Gaia Tormena (Italy) and Edvin Lindh (Sweden) were crowned overall winners of the 2024 UCI Mountain Bike Eliminator World Cup—who will rise to the top in 2025?
