Tokyo Olympics might be over, but the racers aren’t on vacation quite yet. The 2021 UCI BMX World Championships are fast approaching, for Sunday August 22nd in Papendal. The competent authorities of the Netherlands have confirmed that both the Elite and Junior races for men and women will still go ahead as scheduled, but due to the current pandemic, the Challenge races for amateurs have been cancelled. Typically a BMX World Championship is at least a week long experience – this event being originally slated for 17th until the 22nd, but without the Challenge class it’s now just reduced to the one day. As someone who has gone to compete at Worlds, this is a huge loss for making long lasting memories and experiences for amateur racers, but with the current complications with travel and keeping everyone safe, this was a responsible decision.
Here’s the schedule and line up for the 2021 UCI BMX World Championships, of course the official list is going to change due some athletes not going due to injury. As we get closer to race day, we’ll make sure to update this post with the live feed when it’s available.
