2025 UCI Mountain Bike World Championships schedule

Can't wait to listen to the BBC commentators who have never seen a DH race before.

Acting like every rider on track has a shot at winning. Turning up the volume for every Brit. Trying to keep the hype alive to the end of every run even though someone was 3 seconds back at the final split.

Well that's my weekend sorted 🙂 

Is there any way to see what/when the BBC are showing? Doesn't look great on the results google gives, https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b095szlg

Might need to take the normal approach - ask teenage son to find the stream somewhere. Longest it's taken in 2 minutes.

The BBC are frustratingly cagey about what they will be broadcasting live eh? 

They're not gonna get much of an audience if nobody knows if and when they'll be showing it.

That sounds pretty similar to the Discovery commentators minus the volume for Brits. A least the BBC ones might not go on and on about Santa Cruz V10's.

Mods - can we try have one thread for all the Worlds chat? Can we make it this one!? (Maybe a title change?)

Anyway....

You know when you ride something really, really steep and terrifying, and yet on camera it looks tame?

Well this looks absolutely horrendous! Look at how quick the track drops away!

Here's a clip from the boy from last years Euro Champs.

He still rates it as the toughest track he's ridden.

Jackson just chatting away like he's chilling on the chairlift 

I rode Champery on my Lapierre Spicy back in 2012. At the time I was also a volunteer patroller at Nevis Range and was comfortable lapping the WC track repeatedly, so I thought I'd manage it fine... Champery was on another level! Sooooo steep. 

And posting these here as inevitably this run will be mentioned multiple times over the weekend (or perhaps multiple times in one sentence by Ric), so you might as well rewatch them now:

Did you forget to mention the Enduro too, or does that come into the same category as ebikes and pumptrack?!?!

The Enduro WCs happened on Monday. Not that anyone knew about it.

I watched it on various riders YouTube channels and the YouTube highlights, looked quite a course

They actually broadcast the final stage live, as you say its a shame nobody knew about it before it had been on

Live timing.

10.00am today for Qually for the junior female.

10.30 onwards for Junior male.

Racing is on tomorrow on Discovery+ (not checked iPlayer) 9.55am junior girls, going on until 1.20pm for the boys.

How many juniors qualify for the finals tomorrow?

20 girls and 60 boys, so Megan and Heather are in i believe

60 out of 75? So not at all like the World Cup where only 20 out of 80 odd get to ride the final.

That gives them a much better chance of showing what they can do!

rode Champery a few times, I mean 'rode'

it was a bit of a problem that it would take the best part of the day to get there from Morzine so usually we had time for 1 run then had to rush back.  The first time was in 2010 and I could barely let my brakes go as I didn't know what horrors were round the corner.  I had the Earthed 5 footage fresh in mind all the way down

second time in 2011 (only a month or two before the Danny Hart win I suppose) and I felt I knew the track better.  Managed to link some sections together and kind of rode it.

In 2013, We were with some German guys who were desperate to find the lower section after the road due to its legendary status and 'look at the whip' etc..  It was easy to find albeit on private land.  Looked at the jumps and step downs - no way.  I wasn't confident racking up any speed on that hill at all.

I always heard that the 2011 track had been nerfed a bit since the 2007 WC.  And it truly was nasty AF then

Not listed anywhere on iPlayer

I guess we just have to see if we can find it on the iPlayer when the event is started.

Does anyone know where will be best to look in the app?

That Champery track is wild, I don't mind admitting I climb off and walk one particular section! Tyred Jr the younger killed his (admittedly already-on-the-way-out) Top Fuel on it a couple of years ago.

Danny Hart's run in the rain is one of the all time greatest, never get tired of seeing (and hearing) that.

Planning on recording it on Sunday for evening viewing, so media blackout essential.

Couldn't find this anywhere on iPlayer, anyone able to give me a clue? Not sure my ancient telly handles the red button thing, just brings up red button Teletext!

I don't see Danny's name in the final?

He finished 53rd so should be in the final.

Anyone found it yet? The one thing I want to watch on the BBC.

Not looked on BBC, but it's deffo on Discovery. Watched juniors yesterday and getting ready for finals this morning. 

All I can find after much digging on the BBC iPlayer is this:

It looks like all they have is the XC next week, which is disappointing right now. 

Please can someone tell me that I'm wrong!

After trawling pink bike comments it would appear no coverage on BBC if true.

I always try to watch world's, what's the cheapest route to doing so? 😭

VPN and find a country that's no geoblocked on YouTube? Or if you don't have a VPN one month TNT

You're right unfortunately, no Dh coverage at all on BBC by the look of it, not even highlights

Is anyone else having trouble getting it to play on Tiz?

I'm on Tiz 480p. Can't make the HD one work yet.

It's live on the UCI YouTube channel if you have a VPN and can find a country where it's available.

My free VPN doesn't give enough options.

I'm in Nigeria at the moment (honest!) and it's live on the UCI YouTube channel.

I have travelled to Algeria in order to watch the YouTube coverage and it's working perfectly. 

Watching tiz backup 480p without sound, which is a mixed blessing I suppose. 

Video stream is solid and it's starting to look like Myriam's time is within reach.

Its on TNT 1

Prefer the Saffa and the English geezer over Irish Rik.

YouTube link, please....!

I've nipped over to Singapore personally, worked spot on for women's race, the youtube link won't show on here without the vpn and I can't get on here with the vpn set to Singapore,  there's a link to it in the comments at the bottom of Pinkbike results page

Its on TNT 1

Starting coverage at 12. Switching on and seeing Les Gets confused me no end there!

4 hours live coverage of the Great North Run on the Beeb though 🙄

the vpn and I can't get on here with the vpn set to Singapore

Same here. Strange.

I'm in New Zealand and it's showing "fine" (stable but that's at 360p)

They've just restarted after what weems to have been a long delay - crash retrieval I think 

must be lots of folk trying the tiz cycling stream as its not working for any of the feeds.

UCI only give a **** about lycra clad doped up freaks
