WATCH: WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series Endurance season preview

Join Josh Carlson and Ric McLaughlin as they look ahead to the Endurance side of the season as it gets tantalisingly close.

The first race of the 2024 WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series is now only weeks away. The opening round of the year will take place at the debut venue of Mairiporã, Brazil 12-14 April. Race fans all over the world are on tender hooks at the prospect of that most hotly anticipated of things; an Olympic race season.  

Cross-country is the only mountain bike format to be an Olympic sport and as such it’s a huge year for the Endurance athletes with the chance to represent their countries at Paris 2024 up for grabs.  

Paris 2024 aside, there is a packed season of UCI Cross-country World Cup racing and of course the UCI World Championships to play for. More information about the full calendar can be found here. In the meantime, tune in as our roving reporter Josh Carlson and lead commentator Ric McLaughlin discuss the highlights of the season ahead. They caught up a few weeks ago at the UCI’s headquarters in Aigle, Switzerland. 

Don’t forget that the 2024 WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series will be getting underway in Mairiporã, Brazil 12-14 April
