Recognised as one of the best ‘festival events’ on the circuit, fans flock to this Pyrenees venue to witness the best gravity riders in the world hit the race track, as well as a celebration of all thing’s mountain biking.
Visitors can expect a packed 4-day event programme including a huge event village with MTB brands, kids races & family activities, ride outs, DJs, shows, autograph sessions, yoga and more.
Canadian riders Gracey Hemstreet (Norco Race Division) and Jackson Goldstone (Santa Cruz Syndicate) proved their technical skills as they won the Elite Men & Women’s titles at round two of the UCI Downhill World Cup in Loudenvielle. Read the full race report here.
Daniel Booker triumphed in a nail-biting back-and-forth with Sławomir Łukasik (Yeti / Fox Factory Race Team) at the UCI Enduro World Cup round in Loudenvielle as Ella Conolly underlined that she’s the woman to beat in a dominant showing at the WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series. Read all the exciting action here.
The Downhill course in Loudenvielle is one of two, distinctive halves. The top section, which starts close to the famous 007 Airport, is incredibly fast. Riders will gather huge momentum here before the track switches from fast and open, to steep and very technical. A key section for spectators is in the lower woods – where the race is often won or lost! This course suits the strong all-rounder athletes who have the speed and technical ability to push it to the limit.
The Enduro course will be released one week before the event, but we can tell you a few key snippets of info ahead of time:
Stages: Five stage race, with one brand new stage
Distance: 50km
Descending: 2500m
Climbing: 1220m + 1280m of lift elevation gain
Alongside world‑class competition, the WHOOP UCI MTB World Series at Loudenvielle–Peyragudes, presented by FACOM, gives you the opportunity to race between the tapes through Open Racing.
Riders can put their skills to the test in Enduro and E‑Enduro categories, tackling the same course that the UCI Enduro World Cup athletes will race.
