The 2024 UCI Pump Track World Championship schedule is now posted. There will be 15 qualifying events across the globe this year starting in April. The top athletes from the Qualifiers which will be held on Velosolutions Pump Tracks will earn the right to compete for the championship rainbow jersey.
The Pump Track World Championships has already succeeded in creating a revolutionary global pump track racing series where riders competed in the first World Final that saw local heroes, elite BMX racers and MTB World Champions compete on an even playing field.
In 2019, the iconic rainbow stripes were handed out for the first time at the World Final in Switzerland to Payton Ridenour and Tommy Zula after joining forces with the UCI. A return to racing in 2021 saw Eddy Clerte and Aiko Gommers crowned as the new World Champions in Lisbon, Portugal. In 2022, Santiago Chile played host to over 70 athletes travelling from around the world to lay it all down on the line for the coveted jersey, with Niels Bensink and Christa von Niederhausern taking home the honours on race day.
The 2023 Velosolutions UCI Pump Track World Championships at AREA47 in Austria culminated in an intense showdown on Saturday evening, with Christa von Niederhäusern (SUI) seizing her third World Championship title in astounding form in the Elite Women’s category. Alec Bob USA) claimed victory over newcomer Mattia Costerman (ITA) in the Elite Men’s category, further cementing his pump track legacy after securing second place on the podium in Santiago, Chile last year.
