UCI MOUNTAIN BIKE WORLD CUP

PRESENTED BY SHIMANO
A BRIEF RUNDOWN
The UCI Mountain Bike World Cup has a long, colourful history and enjoys a solid following throughout the world. Over
the years, the UCI has modified the format and introduced new initiatives in order to keep up with evolving trends and
meet the expectations of athletes and fans.
EVOLUTION OF THE UCI MOUNTAIN BIKE WORLD CUP

1991:
2002 - 2011:
It 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.
After four years on the programme, the dual slalom was replaced by fourcross (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 womens competition victory
went to Frances Anne-Caroline Chausson, already winner of the dual-slalom
in 2000.
1993:
Two years later the downhill (DHI) format joined the programme, crowning
two German athletes this time: Jrgen 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 - 2001:
1998 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.
MEDIA GUIDE
2012-2014:
The Cross-country Eliminator was the latest mountain bike format to join the
UCI Mountain Bike World Cup in 2012 for the last 3 seasons. This spectacular
format suited to XCO specialists sees four competitors race each other over a
lap of around 1km. Introduced into the World Cup with three events in 2012,
the Eliminator rounds increased in number of six in 2013 and six last year with
the overall classifications going to Belgiums Fabrice Mels and Switzerlands
Kathrin Stirnemann.
UCI MOUNTAIN BIKE WORLD CUP

PRESENTED BY SHIMANO
UCI ELITE MOUNTAIN BIKE TEAMS
BEST EVENTS
In 2011, the UCI introduced a higher tier of mountain bike teams, UCI ELITE
Mountain Bike Teams. Invitations to receive this label go to the 15 top endurance (XCO) teams and the 15 top gravity (downhill) teams of a special ranking
established at the end of the previous season by adding up the UCI points of
the best riders within each team.
The UCI Mountain Bike World Cup rewards not only the best athletes but
also the best organisers. Each year, UCI Mountain Bike Teams, media, 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.
These teams benefit from numerous advantages: notably priority placement

at events, free entry to UCI Mountain Bike World Cup events and free entry
for all races on the UCI Mountain Bike International Calendar. In return, they
are obliged to enter at least one rider in all rounds of the UCI Mountain Bike
World Cup presented by Shimano.
Best events 2014: New promoters Mribel (FRA) confirmed the expectations
topping the Downhill award and placing 2nd in both Cross-country Olympic
& Eliminator, both of which were won by the now well established event
in Nove Mesto (CZE) who will host the World Championships XCO & XCE
events in 2016. Mont-Sainte-Anne, a favourite destination on the World Cup
circuit & who hosted their 24th year of World Cup or World Championship
events in 2014, placed 3rd in all three disciplines.
Watch out for their easily distinguishable label.
MEDIA GUIDE
DISCIPLINES INTRODUCTION
CROSS-COUNTRY OLYMPIC (XCO):
DOWNHILL (DHI):
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 1h 30 minutes to 1h 45 minutes. An attractive course
design that shows the discipline well on television and also spectator friendly
is a necessity!
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.
