54 kilometersdistributed in three laps. The circuit includes three timed special stages called Cross Test, Enduro Test and Xtrema.
Divisions and startup
The World Cup will feature various technical divisions. The classification includes the following main categories:
- E1, E2 and E3
- Junior, Youth and Women
- Open divided into 2T, 4T and Senior
The Open division is designed for riders who will complete fewer laps and has a more economically accessible entry fee. In parallel, a round of the Catalan Championship of the discipline will be held. The World Championship starts today at 8:00 PM with the Super Test. It is a show test prior to the main competition, consisting of a race with obstacles such as stones, logs, and sand mainly. The course is very short, lasting less than a minute. This format determines the starting order for the main race the following day.
