Watch how Rachel Atherton won her fifth UCI MTB World Championship title in Lenzerheide, Switzerland.There is perhaps no better place for MTB racing than the Swiss Alps. Lenzerheide hosts the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup tour for the third time, with both DH and XCO races contested in the Men's and Women's divisions. The steep, short and intense track at the 2018 UCI DH world Championships in Lenzerheide, Switzerland, packed everything a Worlds track needs into three minutes, with plenty of roots, rocks and turns. A perfect day in the mountains greeted the fans who'd turned out in their droves to watch the races for the coveted world champion's rainbow jersey and place in mountain bike history. Going into the top five riders, Myriam Nicole was set to strengthen the French presence on the podium. On the comeback from a back injury sustained at the World Cup round in Val di Sole, Italy, Nicole knew what it would take to win on this track, having won there in 2017. Next up was British hopeful Tahnée Seagrave. Coming off the back of a World Cup season littered with wins, she had all the motivation to aim for victory. An aggressive start saw her up on the timing splits, but riding noticeably more carefully towards the end of the course, she was back on Nicole's times at Split 4. However, in a final bid for glory she managed to claw back that time and went into the lead just 0.69 seconds. Extending her blistering pace all the way to the finish, Atherton crossed the line nearly 10 seconds ahead of her competition to claim her fifth World Championships Gold medal and firmly cement her name in the history books.

Watch how Loic Bruni won his third UCI MTB World Championship title in Lenzerheide, Switzerland. There is perhaps no better place for MTB racing than the Swiss Alps.

The downhill season signed-off in style at the 2018 UCI DH World Championships. The steep, short and intense track at the 2018 UCI DH world Championships in Lenzerheide, Switzerland, packed everything a Worlds track needs into three minutes, with plenty of roots, rocks and turns. A perfect day in the mountains greeted the fans who'd turned out in their droves to watch the races for the coveted world champion's rainbow jersey and place in mountain bike history. Defending 2017 World Champion Loïc Bruni had a mixed World Cup season, but you don't win the World Championship twice by luck and the Frenchman attacked the course on his run. He was on par with the split times of Maes as he came down the hill, and when he crossed the finish line his time was 0.213 seconds faster than Maes. We had a new race leader after Martin Maes lead most of the race. Aaron Gwin and Brook MacDonald weren't able to take the first place from Loic Bruni, and Danny Hart ended up coming third. This means a third UCI MTB World Championship win for the French Loic Bruni.

The Mercedes Benz UCI DH MTB World Cup reached its conclusion in La Bresse, France in less than ideal conditions. The rain that so affected qualifying the day before returned for finals, making the course super slick in places. This was no bad thing, with the track running faster than in qualifying as a result. For the Elite Women, the overall title still needed to be decided, while in the Elite Men's contest there was still the question of who would finish second to World Cup champion Amaury Pierron to settle, with up to five riders in contention for that spot. The weather started to clear up as the session went on, but this appeared to be at the disadvantage to the riders now coming down, as the muddy seemed to get a bit stickier. Times were slowing considerably, with huge amounts of time being lost by riders in the steep section in the middle of the course, where Maes had been incredibly fast.

The rising star of downhill mountain biking has dreamed of glory since she was 12, but last year she decided to change her approach. Find out how she put the fun back into riding and started winning, together with her family by her side.

Take a deep breath… the finals are upon us. Some titles remain up for grabs, champions-elect are yet to be crowned, but for the rest of the pros, it’s their last opportunity to claim a scalp or two before the UCI World Championships. They're officially calling last orders in the Last Chance Saloon and the stage is perfectly set for a classic! La Bresse seems to have a propensity for producing dramatic racing and historically significant results. In 2011, Aaron Gwin locked up the first of his back-to-back titles here with a third place. It sealed him the title for Trek Factory Racing with a round to spare. It was the first time an American had won the overall crown.

It sealed him the title for Trek Factory Racing with a round to spare. It was the first time an American had won the overall crown. The race was won by none other than Greg Minnaar who beat Gee Atherton home for said victory. As far back as seven years ago it was the South African’s 52nd career podium and, almost unbelievably, his first premier class win in France. In the women’s DH race, Tracy Moseley stampeded home 4.9secs ahead of Floriane Pugin to put the Martin Whiteley-run Trek operation on it’s way to a clean sweep of the top honours. Of those women from that results sheet who are still racing, Rachel Atherton is the highest placed having captured a fourth.

With multiple World Championships titles, World Cup crowns and the only perfect season in MTB history to her name, Rachel Atherton is quite simply the queen of downhill racing.Meanwhile, the UK's Tahnée Seagrave is one of downhill mountain biking’s most exciting talents, with already multiple wins this season.As the season comes to a close in La Bresse, who will win? Check out their last encounter from Mont Sainte Anne, Canada.

Women's FinalsMont-Sainte-Anne produced some of the best racing of the season. Watch the winning runs and read the report from a thrilling sixth stop of the UCI DH World Cup in Canada right here.After a wet qualifier, the track had managed to dry out nicely by the time finals came around, but the rain had made the ruts and holes on course huge and the high-speed track the roughest it's been for a long time.Coming into the penultimate stop of the Mercedes Benz UCI World Cup here, the rivalry between British riders Tahnée Seagrave and Rachel Atherton was at a peak, as the race to secure points for the overall title closed in.As the battle of the Brits got underway, it was second fastest qualifier Rachel Atherton who took to the course first. Riding on the edge, she was already 12 seconds up on Hannah's time by Split 2, and an aggressive and faultless run saw her lead extend as she made her way down the hill.With massive margins on her split times, Atherton put in a blistering run that saw her cross the finish line with a huge 20 second advantage.►Men's FinalsAmaury Pierron went into the race knowing that he could wrap up the World Cup overall title after a good qualifying performance on the Friday. However the talk up at the start area was whether the French rider would elect to race at all after suffering a heavy crash in the last practice session, just hours before finals.Champion in waiting Pierron showed strong mental and physical toughness by deciding to go for his run. He had to finish ahead of Vergier to take the World Cup overall with a race to spare. The Frenchman carried good speed in his run, switching between being ahead and then behind Vergier's time at the splits. One final effort in the finish area saw him just better Vergier's time to go into second, and with that he was crowned the 2018 World CupThere was still the little matter of the race result to decide before Pierron could begin his celebrations, though. Loïc Bruni and then Danny Hart were still left to go. Defending world champion Bruni had the measure of Brosnan's time on his way down, and was up on the Australian's stellar time by 1.192 seconds by the third split. Bruni was super smooth and though he lost a little time towards the end of the run, he crossed the finish line with the new fastest time champion.Hart wasn’t able to make an impression on Bruni's time, but did go into third, as Bruni and Pierron were left to celebrate an incredible day for the French at the finish.
