The first race of the Mountain Bike World Championships was the women's e-bike competition, where Germany's Sofia Lena Wiedenroth dominated from start to finish to secure the discipline's rainbow jersey. The German completed the nine laps of the 2.4 km circuit in the La Caubella area in 1 hour and 9 seconds, giving her a clear lead over her nearest rivals, Switzerland's Nathalie Schneitter, who crossed the finish line in second place (+1'03''), and Chile's Florencia Espineira Herreros (+2'06''), who surprisingly came third for many.

In the men's e-bike race, Frenchman Jerome Gilloux was the fastest and reclaimed the world championship title after coming second in last year's world championship. The Frenchman showed great determination and always managed to maintain a small lead over his pursuers, even gradually extending it. He completed the ten laps of the circuit in 1 h 1'32'' and thus won the men's e-bike final, while Chilean Martin Vidaurre Kossmann finished second, just 29 seconds behind Gilloux. Another Frenchman, Hugo Pigeon, completed the men's e-MTB podium, 45 seconds behind his compatriot.

Swiss defending champion Joris Ryf did not have a good day and finished fourth. Leon Kaiser from Germany finished sixth, with the second Swiss rider Lukas Dennda in tenth place.
