UCI MTB Eliminator World Cup (XCE)

Sakarya will host a major global bike-sport showcase on June 14, 2026, as the UCI Mountain Bike Eliminator World Cup (XCE) arrives at Ayçiçeği Bicycle Valley. Listed on the UCI calendar, this event will bring the world’s best eliminator riders to a format that’s built for speed and spectators—short laps, head-to-head heats, and split-second finishes.

The setting is a big part of the story. Ayçiçeği Bicycle Valley is known for modern infrastructure and a venue layout that keeps the action close. It’s the kind of World Cup stop where you don’t need to know every name to get pulled in. Even if you’re not racing, you’ll still want to be there—because the intensity is live and immediate, and Sakarya makes the World Cup feel right in front of you.
