The final round of the 2024 UCI MTB World Cup is set to unfold this weekend at the iconic Mont Sainte Anne, a legendary mountain resort in Quebec, Canada.

Known for its breath-taking landscapes and heart-pounding trails, Mont Sainte Anne has been the backdrop for countless unforgettable moments in the world of mountain biking. As we approach the season finale, the question on everyone’s mind is: who will be crowned the Mont Sainte Anne UCI MTB World Cup Series 2024 Winner.

Let’s dive into what you need to know about this weekend’s action and who to watch as the season wraps up!

Where to Watch UCI MTB Mont Sainte Anne?

With all eyes on Mont Sainte Anne, race fans worldwide are eager to see what could be one of the most entertaining races of the year. Because the next UCI round is not for another 6 months, some have suggested the riders might put caution to the wind. You can catch all the action live on the official UCI Youtube channel and Eurosport

The Men’s Elite Category: Loic Bruni’s Path to Victory

One of the biggest storylines heading into Mont Sainte Anne is Loic Bruni’s dominant lead in the Elite Men’s category. In the previous round in Loudenvielle, Bruni’s victory catapulted him to a staggering 311-point lead over his closest rival, Amaury Pierron. Now, if you’re scratching your head wondering how this is possible given the points available per round (400 in total—50 for qualifying, 100 for semi-finals, and 250 for the final), there’s an intriguing twist in the UCI rulebook for the final round.

In Mont Sainte Anne, no points will be awarded for qualifying or semi-finals. This means the grand finale carries all the weight, with points from qualifying shifted to the final, offering an even larger points haul for the riders. Bruni has essentially locked in his overall series victory, but the battle for the win at Mont Sainte Anne is still very much alive.

The Women’s Elite Category: Valentina Höll Reigns Supreme

In the Elite Women’s category, Valentina Höll has clinched the overall title with a 348-point lead over second-placed Tahnee Seagrave. Höll’s performance throughout the season has been nothing short of stellar, and while the title is hers, the competition at Mont Sainte Anne will determine who takes the final win of the season.

As for this weekend’s potential winners, in timed practice Marine Cabirou set the pace, clocking in 1.966 seconds faster than Myriam Nicole. With the top women bringing their best to the season’s close, it’s bound to be an exhilarating race.

Mountain Bike Local Heroes: Finn Iles and Ronan Dunne

Finn Iles is looking strong, finishing timed practice with a 1.832-second lead over Laurie Greenland. Iles, often compared to the late great Canadian downhill legend Stevie Smith, is carrying on his legacy with pride and determination and already has a win at Mont Sainte Anne under his belt from 2022.

Ireland’s own Ronan Dunne is also one to watch, finishing timed practice in 10th, just 3.629 seconds behind Iles. For Irish fans, Dunne’s presence in the top ranks adds a personal connection to the global stage, making this race even more exciting.
