For the first time in its four-year history, the Swiss Enduro Series crossed the national border to Santa Maria Maggiore. And the premiere had it all: four downhill stages challenged the participants both technically and physically, but also rewarded them with a lot of riding fun. Delia Da Mocogno and Patrick Lüthi, who won the elite categories, had the least of it in terms of time.

Swiss rider Lisa Baumann and Frenchman Nathan Pontvianne won the fifth round of the iXS European Downhill Cup 2025, which stopped off for the first time in Les Orres, France. Baumann won by a good four seconds ahead of Gloria Scarsi (ITA) and six seconds ahead of Belgian Siel Van der Velden. Pontvianne won almost as clearly ahead of Jack Piercy (GBR) and Baptiste Pierron (FRA).

The UCI and Warner Bros. Discovery Sports have announced that two new venues will be part of the Whoop UCI Mountain Bike World Series from the 2026 season. With Olympic tradition and outstanding infrastructure, these venues in Asia and the USA promise exciting gravity and cross-country races.

The 2025 European Downhill Championships ended today in La Molina (Spain) with thrilling final races. The venue in the Pyrenees has long been a fixture on the Union Européenne de Cyclisme (UEC) calendar and once again offered ideal conditions for top-class racing in the midst of impressive nature. The gold medals went to defending champion Lisa Baumann from Switzerland and Simon Chapelet from France.

At the iXS Downhill Cup in Lienz, Austria, the Germans are in the driving seat for once. Justine Welzel and Simon Maurer are the fastest in the main classes. The latter prevailed against Timo Pries and Lino Neumann (both DE), while Welzel relegated compatriot Marlena Rieger and Belgian Roos Op de Beck to the places of honor.
