With the additional announcement of a Cross-Country Marathon, Enduro and E-Enduro make it three new events for mountain biking’s premier racing series.
Lovers of enduro races rejoice! Your favorite events just got a status upgrade.
The Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI, cycling’s international governing body) and Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) announced this week that the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup will include enduro and E-enduro in 2023.
This change means the Enduro World Series (EWS) will be elevated to UCI World Cup status. It joins cross-country Olympic (XCO), cross-country short track (XCC) downhill (DHI), and cross-country marathon (XCM). The UCI said in a news release that all enduro events on the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup would be one-day events.
In an Instagram post, the Enduro World Series (EWS) sounded more than a little pumped.
“We could not be more excited to tell you about the next chapter in our story — the EWS is becoming a UCI Mountain Bike World Cup!” the group said. “From 2023 onwards, EWS & EWS-E will join the World Cup family and be known as the UCI Mountain Bike Enduro World Cup.”
