Race-Ticker

After a season filled with qualifying races around the globe, riders from more than 20 nations traveled to Beijing to compete for the coveted rainbow jersey at the UCI Pump Track World Championships. The field included experienced World Championship competitors, national champions, and a new generation of riders.

Following the timed qualifying rounds, the final races were held as direct knockout matches. In the women’s grand final, Switzerland’s Nadine Aeberhard faced off against the Czech Republic’s Sabina Košárková. In a razor-thin, neck-and-neck race, 24-year-old Nadine Aeberhard (SUI), a two-time World Championship silver medalist, ultimately secured her first World Championship gold medal and the coveted rainbow jersey. Sabina Košárková (CZE) took second place. Vineta Petersone of Latvia won the third-place race, securing the bronze medal.

In the men’s competition, the grand final featured a showdown between Jesse Elzenga of the Netherlands and Ilya Beskrovnyy (AIN). After the 19-year-old Dutch rider won bronze last year, he now secured gold and is entitled to wear the coveted rainbow jersey on the pump track. Ilya Beskrovnyy (AIN) took second place. Tristan Borel of Switzerland won the third-place race, claiming the bronze medal at the Velosolutions UCI Pump Track World Championships.
