The WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series in Loudenvielle-Peyragudes, presented by FACOM, takes riders to the popular terrain of the French Pyrenees, which has hosted the Enduro World Series since 2021.

Although the riders ride over 49.8 kilometers, the top finishers in the Elite Men’s category are separated by just seven-tenths of a second. Alex Rudeau narrowly edges out his compatriot Raphaël Giambi for second place, while Ryan Gilchrist finishes third.

Conolly wins the Elite Women’s category with far greater ease, crossing the finish line more than five seconds ahead of Mélanie Pugin in second place. Raphaela Richter finishes third.

American Romy Williams (Speed Project) had to fight until the very end for her victory in the Junior Women’s category, while Hugo Marti Montessinos set the fastest time in the Junior Men’s category.
