2021 WES Season Kick-off

Monaco (P.ty), Tuesday 12 January 2021 – The 2020 rollercoaster is over and WES World E-Bike Series is warming up to come back bigger and better in this 2021 season. The 2021 WES Race Calendar will be public soon andtraditionally, the series will start in Monaco (P.ty) next 27-28 March and will stop by Italy, Switzerland, Spain and France, with new, amazing venues. The Season Finale venue will be revealed soon, for a 7-round calendar in Europe, ending on 2-3 October.
 
Focus on E-XC, being the WES UCI E-MTB World Cup discipline, whilst WES Gravity races will be held in a few rounds only.
WES UCI E-MTB XC World Cup is the exclusive competition providing eligible points to qualify for the UCI E-MTB World Championships and fight for the coveted rainbow jersey.

Race format: Double E-XC race at those venues where the Gravity is not going to be held, giving E-XC athletes the chance to earn double points in one weekend by optimising the Team travels costs. Back-to-back WES rounds are also planned, for the same reason, as the whole industry is expected to face another challenging year.
