Mountain Bike World Championships 2025 – XCO MU23 – Crans-Montana, Switzerland 🇨🇭
From 30 August to 14 September 2025, the best mountain bikers in the world meet in Valais for two weeks of thrilling competition. For the first time ever, 8 mountain bike disciplines come together in this spectacular region.
Finn Treudler (Switzerland) won the gold medal in the men’s Under-23 Cross-country Olympic race at the UCI Mountain Bike World Championships on Saturday. The 22-year-old put local spectators into a frenzy with a dominant performance. Canadian Cole Punchard finished second, 54 seconds behind, while Denmark’s Gustav Pedersen (21) secured the bronze medal, 2:14 minutes behind. The biggest mover of the day was Denmark’s Mikkle Lose, who moved from 28th position to finish fifth. Rens Teunissen van Manen (Netherlands), ranked second overall in the men’s U23 XCO World Cup standings, finished sixth.
A field of 83 riders took the start on the Crans Montana course prior to the XCO race for elite women. Adrien Boichis (France) took the early lead, then Punchard took over after the second lap. Across the next half lap, Treudler took charge.
There was no one near Treudler for several laps and into the flat run-in to the finish line, quite different than his battle against Boichis five days before in the XCC race, where he was beaten in a photo finish by the Frenchman.
