Leuven welcomes the Worlds
The Belgian city is ready to welcome the 2020 UCI Mountain Bike Eliminator World Championships on Sunday, October 25. It will be the city’s second world class event in a row, as Leuven will also stage a round of the 2021 UCI World Cup.
For the second year in a row, a Belgian city – following Waregem in 2019 – will welcome the UCI Mountain Bike Eliminator World Championships. Two rainbow jerseys will be at stake for the women and men Elite on Sunday, October 25 in Leuven. The event will also be the ideal approach to promote Leuven as hosting city of the UCI World Cup, which will be held a year after the Championships.
The UCI World Championships in Leuven will be streamed live on several TV channels as well as online! The livestream will start at 15:45 (CET) until 17:30 (CET) and will cover all races from the 1/8 finals to podium ceremony. More information to come in the next days. Stay tuned!
About MTB Eliminator
Mountain Bike Eliminator is a fast-moving, dynamic, action-packed format in which four riders race in heats on technical tracks featuring obstacles such as jumps and bridges. Competitions begin with a qualifying heat that takes the form of an individual timed lap of the circuit, as a result of which the fastest 32 men and 16 women qualify for the main competition. The fastest two riders in each heat thereafter qualify for the next round, with the format continuing until only four riders remain to contest the final. Heats are contested over a distance of one kilometre (two 500-metre laps), with races lasting for between 90 seconds and two minutes.
