The red dirt slopes of Araxá made quite an impression on their UCI Mountain Bike World Series debut a year ago, so there’s huge excitement around the 2025 season opener. Read on and we’ll show you how to watch UCI Mountain Bike World Series 2025 live streams from anywhere with a VPN.
Simon Andreassen edged a four-way dash to the line in the men’s XCO here, holding off Victor Koretzky to clinch his first win in the event in four years, and hopes are high for the rematch. Haley Batten scored an XCO-XCC double, but with the American recovering from injury, there’s plenty of intrigue surrounding Kira Böhm, who pulled off an U23 XCO-XCC double here 12 months ago.
Batten’s absence could also bode well for overall UCI XCO and XCC World Cup reigning champion Alessandra Keller, who’s set to return from knee surgery this weekend.
Read on for everything you need to know to watch a UCI Mountain Bike World Series live stream from anywhere.
