The world’s best mountain bikers are gearing up to end the 2024 UCI Mountain Bike World Series with one final shot of glory in Mone Sainte-Anne from 3-6 October.
The course, nestled amongst the breathtaking Laurentian mountains of Quebec, Canada, will host the UCI Mountain Bike World Series for a record 29th time.
Olympic champions, World Series winners and rising stars will all be in the foray 2024 UCI Mountain Bike World Series, with vital world cup points on offer across cross-country short track (XCC), cross-country Olympic (XCO), and downhill formats.
2024 UCI Mountain Bike World Series: Key Players
South Africa’s Alan Hatherly leads the XCO world cup rankings. The 28-year-old from Durban, South Africa won his first-ever world title in the second half of the season, completing an XCO and short course double at Les Gets and snagging a bronze medal at the Olympic Games Paris 2024. A win in the short course (XCC) race would be enough for him to claim the XCO world cup title.
France’s Victor Koretzky, the experienced rider from Montpellier, sits second in rankings, and will need to do well in Mont Sainte-Anne to stand any chance of beating the South African. Koretzky will race on the back of his recent XCO victory in Lake Placid and a silver medal win at the Olympic Games Paris 2024.
The women’s XCO world cup title fight is much more straightforward with Switzerland’s Alessandra Keller needing to finish 34th or better in the short course. The season finale in Mont Sainte-Anne offers a dual opportunity for Keller, who could snag the XCO title and win her first XCO race of the season in the same weekend. Her strongest challenge might come from the duo of Savilia Blunk (USA) and Candice Lill (South Africa).
