Mountain Bike World Cup
Encyclopedia
The UCI Mountain Bike World Cup is a multi-round mountain bike racing
series that is sanctioned by the Union Cycliste Internationale
. The first World Cup series – which was composed of cross-country
events – was held in 1989. The Downhill
World Cup was inaugurated two years later, and the Dual Slalom World Cup was launched in 1998. The dual-slalom format – which involved knock-out heats with two riders on the course in each heat – evolved into four-cross
(with four riders per heat) in 2002.
Riders win points according to their placing in each event. The reigning series leaders in each class are identified by a special jersey.
