Major new changes to the MTB 2023 calendar
The UCI presented a first MTB calendar for 2023 a few weeks ago, but now it has just presented another one with important modifications in dates and venues. The unified list under the "World Cup" brand is bigger and will now include XCO, XCC, XCM, DH, Enduro and E-Enduro.
Keys to the new calendar for 2023
- For the first time a unified calendar is presented under the "World Cup".
- Warner Bros Discovery will be in charge of broadcasting all the races and seems to be behind this rearrangement of the calendar.
- In XCO, Brazil and Albstadt, Germany, are lost, and now Valkenburg, Netherlands, which was to be a new venue this year, is no longer listed and looks like it will be moved to 2024.
- Enduro World Cup loses Whistler, USA, which was on the first 2023 calendar.
- The French region of Haute-Savoie, in Les Gets, will be the venue for all modalities from September 7th to 17th.
- XCO World Cup to finish later than ever, ending in October.
- There will be Short Track (XCC) events also in the U23 category.
- The Downhill will get more TV time with the broadcasting of the semi-finals.
- The Enduro World Series (EWS) will become the UCI Enduro World Cup (EDR) in 2023.
- The Cross-country Marathon (XCM) will also have its own UCI Mountain Bike World Cup from 2023 with four new venues on next year's calendar.
