World’s Best BMX Riders Return to Papendal for 12th Edition of the UCI BMX Racing World Cup
On June 21 and 22, 2025, Papendal will once again host the UCI BMX Racing World Cup. This marks the 12th time the prestigious event takes place at this iconic venue in Gelderland, with two thrilling rounds where the world’s top riders will battle for UCI ranking points. For the fifth time, Papendal has been named ‘Best Event’ by the UCI, a testament to its outstanding organization, passionate atmosphere, and commitment to the sport.
This year’s theme is ‘Back to the Roots’, highlighting what it’s all about: pure BMX racing. No distractions – just raw speed, powerful starts, tight corners, and big jumps. The sport is front and center – just the way BMX was meant to be.
With 334 riders, rounds 3 and 4 of the UCI BMX Racing World Cup promise to be a spectacular edition. Never before have there been so many entries for a race weekend at Papendal. France leads the way with 80 riders, followed by the Netherlands (32), the USA (21), Australia (20), and Switzerland (18). In the Men Elite, Women Elite, and U23 categories, world-class athletes and rising talents will battle for the podium. Papendal is gearing up for a weekend full of action and top-level racing.
Gelderland: More Than Just Sport
In the lead-up to the BMX weekend, several Pumptrack Qualifiers will be held across Gelderland, where participants can win wildcards for the Gelderland Cup.

If you've not heard of Scotland's Ross Dunbar before, buckle up and prepare yourself for some bangers! Ross has been dropping jaws for years now with his burly, all-or-nothing style of riding, and now he's got three and a half minutes of new, red hot scorchers for ya. NOT SCARED!
Yoooo, young guys! Three weeks ago, I fell right here during training camp. I had to fight that fear during that unusual weekend. We raced both rounds of this French Cup on the same day. Very tiring, very exhausting, very special, but a killer experience!
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
