The international off-road cycling scene has a lot to look forward to in 2020, as the Velosolutions Pump Track in Saalfelden Leogang, Austria, has been selected to host the Red Bull UCI Pump Track World Championships in September. To add to the excitement, the Pump Track will be co-located with the UCI Mountain Bike Downhill World Championships this year, promising an epic weekend of all things bike.

Red Bull and Velosolutions launched the "Red Bull Pump Track World Championships" in 2018. In 2019, the UCI joined in and the coveted rainbow stripes were awarded for the first time at the world finals in Bern. This year, the pump track qualification series has grown once again with 30 events. And the final is also set to be huge.
From September 4 to 6, 2020, the UCI Mountain Bike Downhill World Championships will be held in Saalfelden/Leogang for the second time after the World Championships in 2012. In contrast to back then, the action will double thanks to the big pump track world finals.

"Being able to host the World Championships again after eight years confirms that we not only ride exciting races and offer a good infrastructure, but also that the entire team works perfectly hand in hand, says Marco Pointner, Managing Director of Saalfelden-Leogang-Touristik. "The eyes of the international cycling scene will be on us again. With the UCI Mountain Bike Downhill World Championships presented by Mercedes-Benz and the Red Bull UCI Pump Track World Championships, we can once again strengthen our status as a top cycling destination," adds Pointner.

Gravity fans will not only enjoy the best racing this weekend, as the sports festival offers a packed program with exciting side events. In addition to the impressive team and expo area, visitors to Saalfelden-Leogang will be treated to a series of open-air concerts, parties and shows.
