2017 UCI Mountain Bike World Cup

2017 UCI Mountain Bike World Cup
Date(s)  (2017-04 - 2017-10)April - October 2017

The 2017 UCI Mountain Bike World Cup is a series of races in Olympic Cross-Country (XCO), Cross-Country Eliminator (XCE), and Downhill (DHI). Each discipline has an Elite Men and an Elite Women category. There are also men's and women's under-23 categories in the XCO and a junior men's category in the DHI. The cross-country series has six rounds and the downhill series has seven rounds.[1][2]

The Cross-Country Eliminator (XCE) is being included as a UCI World Cup discipline for the first time since 2014.[3] The XCE schedule for 2017 has eight rounds, including events in Lebanon and Thailand.[4][5]

New regulations have been introduced in 2017 to reduce the numbers of competitors in the UCI World Cup downhill events. The minimum number of UCI points required to compete in a World Cup has been increased from 30 to 40. The field sizes for the downhill finals have been reduced from 20 to 15 (plus protected riders) for the Elite Women and from 30 to 20 for the Junior Men.[2]
