Pump Track - Men - La Roche-sur-Foron - 2027 UCI Cycling World Championships, Haute-Savoie Mont-Blanc

The Pumptrack will be fully in line with the event’s mission: to promote all forms of cycling through a popular, accessible, and forward-looking event. Pumptrack is one of the most modern disciplines on the program for the 2027 UCI World Championships in Haute-Savoie Mont-Blanc. Competitions take place on a looped course featuring bumps, banked turns, and jumps. Athletes navigate the course without pedaling, using only their body movements and the track’s terrain to generate speed. Originally developed as a training ground for BMX and mountain biking, the pump track is now a discipline in its own right, with its own international competitions organized since 2019 under the auspices of the International Cycling Union. Pumptrack competitions begin with a qualifying round, during which athletes attempt to post the fastest time possible. The fastest riders then advance to a final round in a single-elimination (“knockout”) bracket, where each head-to-head match determines which rider qualifies for the next round, all the way to the final. The site is accessible to people with disabilities.
