With national cycling federations completing their qualifiers for the 2024 UCI Cycling Esports World Championships, the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) and MyWhoosh will have a minimum of 10 slots per every round of public qualifiers (August 3, 7 and 10).
Riders gaining selection from the MyWhoosh public qualifiers will be added to their respective national federation’s teams. After all rounds are completed, the best riders will be qualified for the semi-finals on September 6, 2024.
Public qualifiers: process and rules
The public qualifiers will be held from early August on the MyWhoosh platform and are open to all users having undergone MyWhoosh’s verification process, with the aim of ensuring a fair and transparent competition.
There will be two-stage events, held on three different dates to accommodate riders from various time zones, and designed to provide a fair and inclusive selection process. The top riders from these qualifiers will secure a spot in the semi-finals.
The 2024 UCI Cycling Esports World Championships will be raced in a custom virtual world, utilising a points-based scoring system to ensure that athletes of all specialties have an opportunity to win.
The public qualifiers provide riders who were not selected by their national federations with the opportunity to qualify for the semi-finals. Three public qualifiers are available to the riders, with men and women from each qualifier advancing to the semi-finals. Riders can try their chances at all three occasions, but once qualified they cannot enter any more qualifiers.

Following the qualifiers, 150 men and 150 women will be selected for the semi-finals on September 6. The top 20 riders of each gender will then advance to the live finals on October 26 in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
All athletes invited to the live final will be provided with an Elite Justo 2 smart trainer on behalf of MyWhoosh’s official hardware partner, Elite. This will ensure all athletes at the live final will be familiar with the hardware used during that race.

MyWhoosh is responsible for organising all stages of the UCI Cycling Esports World Championships, developing virtual courses, creating technical guides, and hosting the live finals in Abu Dhabi.
