The Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), in close collaboration with the Local Organising Committee and local authorities, has been compelled to adjust the competition schedule for tomorrow's events at the 2024 UCI Mountain Bike World Championships, in response to an extended storm with lightning forecast for tomorrow, Sunday, 1 September, starting in the early afternoon.

The cross-country olympic (XCO) races will now take place as follows:

• 8:30 – Men Under 23 (5 laps instead of the scheduled 6)
• 10:15 – Women Under 23 (5 laps) + Women Elite (5 laps instead of the scheduled 6)
  • Women Under 23 and Women Elite categories will compete simultaneously but will be ranked separately.
• 12:00 – Men Elite (6 laps instead of the scheduled 7)

Ensuring the safety of our athletes, fans, and all personnel remains our utmost priority as we implement these necessary changes. We thank all stakeholders for their understanding and cooperation.
