The series aims to take pump track racing to a new level and give cycling a fresh face around the world, from New Zealand to the USA, from Chile to India and from France to Japan. Velosolutions, the world leader in pump track construction, has teamed up with Red Bull to launch the unique series. Qualifying events will take place all over the world before the grand finale on September 7, 2018 in Lenzerheide. The first official pump track world champions will be crowned shortly before the main UCI Mountain Bike World Championships races.

"We are very grateful for all the adventures, new friendships, countries and cultures we have experienced during our pump track constructions around the world. Through our partnership with Red Bull, we can now give something back - the Red Bull Pump Track World Championships gives riders from all over the world the chance to become world champions and make their country proud," says Velosolutions owner Claudio Caluori.
