2025 UCI MTB World Championships Valais

Discipline Focus: Pump Track The 2025 UCI Mountain Bike Pump Track World Championships are coming to Valais, in Monthey and it's going to be an event you won’t want to miss! 🚴♂️💨 Pump Track is a unique and high-energy discipline where riders race on short looping tracks with banked turns. Instead of pedaling, athletes generate speed by "pumping" their bikes – using their body weight to push down on the down slopes and pull up on the up slopes. It’s a thrilling spectacle that combines technique, speed, and strategy. Who will master the track and claim the coveted rainbow jersey in 2025? 🌈🏆 Join us in Monthey from September 3 to 6 for the action-packed Pump Track event.     📸 Simon Ricklin #PumpTrack2025 #UCIWorlds #ValaisMTB Valais/Wallis Promotion Ville de Monthey Aletsch Arena AG Crans-Montana Tourism & Congress Région Dents du Midi SA Verbier Tourisme Sierre-Anniviers Marketing Zermatt - Matterhorn Ville de Sion Grand Raid BCVS Swiss Cycling Alpiq

It’s a race that tests a rider's endurance, speed, and bike handling skills over a series of laps on a circuit!
