A total of 20 world championships in various cycling disciplines will be held at 12 locations between 24 August and 5 September. All of them are to take place in the Haute-Savoie region. While the route for the road races has already been published, mountain bike fans are still waiting for the exact venues and routes for their disciplines.

MTB disciplines in Les Gets?

When it comes to the question of the exact venue, one is particularly obvious. The small ski resort of Les Gets already hosted the world championships in 2004 and most recently in 2022, which is why the town not only has the experience, but also the infrastructure. Therefore, the town could well be the venue for the MTB disciplines once again.

While speculation about the venue for the mountain bike event is ongoing, UCI President David Lappartient emphasises the importance for the region: "I am delighted that this edition will take place in Haute-Savoie, a recognised host region for UCI events in various disciplines. Cycling will be celebrated here in all its splendour."

World Cycling Championships 2027: Expanded programme with new disciplines

The 2027 Super Cycling World Championships will be significantly expanded compared to the first edition in Glasgow, Scotland, in 2023. In addition to the established disciplines such as road racing, mountain biking and BMX, world championships in gravel, e-sports, mountain bike enduro, pump track and junior track cycling will also be held as part of the joint event for the first time. In addition, two completely new disciplines will celebrate their premiere at the World Championships: Indoor Cycle Speedway and Bike Polo.

Michel Callot, President of the Organising Committee of the 2027 UCI Cycling World Championships and the French Cycling Federation, sees the event as a great opportunity: "This is an exceptional opportunity for our French team to present itself in all disciplines of the programme and thus prove the success of French cycling, which is very diverse."
