Everything is ready for the grand final of the 2025 UCI Esport World Championships! Organized by MyWhoosh in partnership with the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), the competition will bring together 44 elite riders – 22 men and 22 women from 16 nations – on Saturday, November 15, at Space 42 Arena in Abu Dhabi. A live battle to win the mythical rainbow jersey.
These finalists earned their spot during a fierce semi-final on October 3, where 123 women and 134 men from over 25 countries competed. Defending champions Jason Osborne (Germany) in the men’s category and Mary Kate McCarthy (New Zealand) in the women’s category confirmed their dominance by qualifying among the first.
Belgium holds seven spots in the men’s category, while Sweden leads in the women’s category with five qualifiers.

A unique three-stage format: power, strategy, and endurance on the menu
The final will be contested on an exclusive UCI virtual world designed for MyWhoosh, with a cumulative points system (all riders start from zero). Fairness is guaranteed thanks to the Elite Justo 2 indoor trainer, UCI certified. Three events will test all rider profiles:
- Stage 1: The Mountain’s Verdict
An infernal 8 km climb with a maximum gradient of 20%. Points every 5 seconds in front of the pursuit line (chrono starts after 2 min). Immediate elimination if caught. For enduring climbers! - Stage 2: The Puncher’s Playground
A hilly 12 km circuit with climbs and descents. Points on 2 sprints, 2 climbs, and the finish. Explosiveness and tactics are mandatory. - Stage 3: The Sprinter’s Paradise
8 laps of a flat 1.5 km circuit. Points per lap, doubled at the finish. Suspense guaranteed until the end!
The rider with the most points will win the title. Live broadcast on the UCI and MyWhoosh YouTube channels.
