Chelva will once again be the epicenter of the best XCO in the world, and you can still register

The Internacionales Chelva 2025 will once again place the Valencian town in the spotlight of mountain biking. From February 14 to 16, the best XCO cyclists and teams will compete in one of the most prominent events on the calendar, and the best part is that you can still register to be with them on the starting grid.

Internacionales Chelva 2025 will bring together the best XCO riders in the world and registrations are still open

Thanks to its excellent organization and outstanding circuits, the Chelva event remains a Hors Categorie race, the highest UCI category for events outside the World Cup circuit. Additionally, it will once again host a UCI Junior Series race.

This status has made the Internacionales Chelva a must-stop for the top teams and riders in the discipline, and in 2025 it will be the presentation event for many of the new teams and signings that have been announced in recent weeks. Such as the revamped teams Orbea Fox Racing Team, Mondraker Factory Racing X, or Cannondale Factory Racing.

In the women's category, the battle for victory will be equally fierce, with cyclists like Jolanda Neff (Cannondale Factory Racing), Jenny Rissveds (Canyon CLLCTV), Savilia Blunk (Decathlon Ford Racing Team), Kelsey Urban (KMC Ridley MTB Racing Team), Chiara Teochi (Lapierre Racing Unity), Bec Henderson (Orbea Fox Racing Team), or Evie Richards (Trek Factory Racing).
