 UCI JUNIOR SERIES XCO


UCI Athlete Entry System and Criteria

According to new UCI requirements, all athletes competing in a 2025 UCI Junior Series XCO race outside of their country of residence must have at least 20 UCI points (in Europe) and 1 UCI point (outside of Europe) in the latest UCI XCO individual junior ranking, or belong to a UCI Elite MTB Team or UCI MTB Team. Riders who meet either of these criteria should register for the event independently via the event registration site.

Unfortunately, due to an inability to manage the supplementary entries for countless junior series races around the world and the liability risks associated with it, USA Cycling is not awarding any of its supplementary entries to Junior athletes to race UCI Junior series races outside of the USA. This is a blanket policy without any exceptions. If USA riders would like to race an international Junior Series race, they must have at least 1 UCI point in the current UCI Ranking per UCI regulations.
