Mountain Biking (World Series) (UCI)
Verdict
Series rounds at homologated UCI venues across Europe, North America, Oceania; 2026 calendar includes ~7-9 rounds (XCO/XCC), ~7-9 rounds (DHI), ~7-9 rounds (EDR); Some rounds co-host XCO + DHI + EDR weekends (e.g., Val di Sole, Leogang)
Why people argue about this
People often argue that the tightening of homologation timelines for camera positions and helicopter access in World Series mountain biking courses means less time for riders to prepare their bikes and strategies, but actually, it's about ensuring smoother TV coverage and better aerial shots for spectators at home, which might not necessarily affect race strategy as much as they expect.
