UCI PUMP TRACK WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS HISTORY:

The Pump Track World Championships has already succeeded in creating a revolutionary global pump track racing series where riders competed in the first World Final that saw local heroes, elite BMX racers and MTB World Champions compete on an even playing field in 2018 in Arkansas, USA.

In 2019, the iconic rainbow stripes were handed out for the first time at the World Final in Switzerland to Payton Ridenour and Tommy Zula after joining forces with the UCI. A return to racing in 2021 saw Eddy Clerte and Aiko Gommers crowned as the new World Champions in Lisbon, Portugal. In 2022, Santiago Chile played host to over 70 athletes travelling from around the world to lay it all down on the line for the coveted jersey, with Niels Bensink and Christa von Niederhausern taking home the honours on race day. In 2023, the USA’s Alec Bob took the top place on the podium in the Men’s category and Christa von Nierderhausern made pump track history by taking her 3rd title in Austria. Ryan Gilchrist from Australia did it for MTB in 2024 to take the top step on the podium along with Czechia’s Sabina Košárková.
