The 2024 UCI Mountain Bike World Championships will take place in Pal Arinsal, Andorra, from 26 August to 1 September. The event will award world titles in several MTB disciplines, with the biggest being downhill – where riders tackle the steepest and trickiest descents individually – and cross-country (XCO), where riders compete both uphill and downhill. There is also cross-country short-track, a cross-country team relay and an E-MTB World Championship for electric bikes.
The XCO events follow spectacular performances at the 2024 Paris Olympics, where Tom Pidcock won gold in the men’s competition with a stunning late gamble. The Briton is also the reigning world champion and will look to defend his title, as will top racer Pauline Ferrand-Prévot of France, who is also an Olympic champion herself. In the downhill, world champions Charlie Hatton (Great Britain) and Valentina Höll (Germany) will look to defend their titles.
