News Summary:

The 2026 UCI BMX Racing World Cup is set to resume its fifth and sixth rounds on October 2-3 in Mentougou, Beijing, marking a first for the discipline in China. The competition's schedule was adjusted by one day due to a forecast of high winds on October 4. Earlier, on September 28, the UCI unveiled the 2027 HERO UCI Cross-country Marathon World Cup calendar, which will comprise five rounds between May and September. Also on September 28, the UCI announced that the 2026 UCI Indoor Cycling World Championships will take place from October 30 to November 1 at the MHPArena in Ludwigsburg, Germany. This relocation occurred after the original host in Derby, Great Britain, could no longer ensure the event, which was initially planned for October 16-18, would proceed. The 2026 UCI Road World Championships, held from September 20-27 in Montréal, Canada, concluded on September 27 with Brandon McNulty of the USA winning the Men Elite road race rainbow jersey, following Demi Vollering's victory in the Women Elite road race earlier in the championships.
