Preview: 2024 UCI Mountain Bike World Championships
Andorra’s Pal Arinsal ski resort is located in the high Pyrenees and is no stranger to hosting great world-level mountain bike races, and is a worthy venue for the 2024 UCI Mountain Bike World Championship title bouts, which will take place between the 26 August and 1 September.
This is a course that hits hard on the body and the bikes, and the technical sections are likely to have a serious impact if the racing is close cut, although in past editions the races here have been true slogs of attrition, which often produce unexpected results, and that, naturally makes for exciting racing.
Also, highly likely to be in the fight for the title is South African Alan Hatherly, who is having the best season of his career, while many will also be watching to see if Britain’s Charlie Aldridge can make good on his ever-increasing presence to break through to within grasp of the podium. Also, in the mix for the title and medals in the XCO and XCC races, we expect to see the American Haley Batten, Sweden’s Jenny Rissveds, and of course, Britain’s own Evie Richards, who went on to win the World Championship and dominate that last world cup rounds in 2021 – after the Olympics. Evie also has a particular liking for the XCC races, too.
