They have to fly in dirt in spots that they can’t dig. I think it’s an agreement with BC parks. Have trucked or flown in 282,000 cubic feet

MSA World Champs 2032 (will it be hoverbikes by then? : )
The UCI Mountain Bike World Championships Return to Mont-Sainte-Anne in 2032
QUÉBEC, September 23, 2026 — The Corporation Événements d’été de Québec (CEEQ), Cycling Canada (CC), and the Fédération québécoise des sports cyclistes (FQSC) enthusiastically welcome the decision by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) to award the 2032 UCI Mountain Bike World Championships to Mont-Sainte-Anne. Following 1998, 2010, and 2019, this will be the fourth edition of the World Championships spearheaded by the CEEQ.
"Since 1991, our organization has worked tirelessly to host high-level mountain bike events that generate significant economic, sporting, tourism, and media benefits for the region, Quebec, and Canada, explains Marie-France Couture, Executive Producer of the CEEQ. Confirming the hosting of the World Championships at Mont-Sainte-Anne in 2032, right on the heels of successfully delivering the Crankworx World Tour Finals at Mont-Sainte-Anne, solidifies this continuity and opens up very exciting prospects for our organization."
Canada in the Spotlight Typically bringing together over 800 athletes from 55 countries and providing global media visibility in over 100 countries through international broadcast, the World Championships offer Canada major international exposure.
"We are extremely proud that the UCI has chosen Mont-Sainte-Anne to host the 2032 World Championships, states Mathieu Boucher, CEO of CC. This announcement, made during the UCI Congress in Montreal while Canada hosts the Road World Championships, represents another major highlight for our sport. The UCI is recognizing not only the expertise and commitment of an entire community, but also Mont-Sainte-Anne's historic role as one of the world's premier mountain biking destinations."
"Awarding these World Championships represents an exceptional opportunity for the growth of mountain biking in Quebec, adds Fabien Blot, Executive Director of the FQSC. Welcoming the world's best athletes to Mont-Sainte-Anne serves as a tremendous source of inspiration for our next generation while helping strengthen our expertise, programs, and cycling ecosystem. Beyond the event itself, our ambition is for 2032 to leave a lasting legacy for athletes, clubs, and the entire Quebec mountain bike community."
Recognized Expertise and Destination For the production of the World Championships, the CEEQ will rely on the expertise of Mouvement Production Québec (MPQ), which will act as the event producer.
"After delivering the last three editions of the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup at Mont-Sainte-Anne and the recent Crankworx World Tour Finals, it is a privilege for Mouvement Production Québec to contribute to the delivery of the World Championships, mentions Ian Beaulieu, President of MPQ. Our team will leverage its expertise to deliver an event that meets the standards of the UCI, the athletes, and the tens of thousands of expected spectators."
This new edition will also build on a relationship of more than three decades between Mont-Sainte-Anne and mountain biking.
"Hosting the World Championships for a fourth time demonstrates the station's place in mountain biking history and the know-how developed here over the decades," shares Maxime Cretin, Vice President and General Manager of Mont-Sainte-Anne.
About the UCI Mountain Bike World Championships Organized annually by the Union Cycliste Internationale, this event gathers the world's elite across iconic disciplines such as Olympic Cross-Country (XCO) and Downhill (DHI). Unlike World Cup legs where athletes represent professional trade teams, competitors at the World Championships wear the colors of their respective national teams. On the line, the winners of each category earn the famous rainbow jersey, a supreme title that gives them the privilege of racing in it throughout the following year.
About the Corporation Événements d’été de Québec The CEEQ is a non-profit organization that has spearheaded international mountain bike events at Mont-Sainte-Anne since 1991. Backed by 35 years of expertise, during which it has organized three World Championships, 30 UCI World Cups, and the 2026 Crankworx World Tour Finals, the CEEQ continues its mission to promote the sport, develop athletes, and create lasting infrastructure legacy for the region.

Their matchup post for Jordan and Asa today also shows the same number of points: 989-843.
If you click on the rider in the link you provided, it also shows the lower point totals. I was thinking that the higher number is total UCI points, versus current World Cup points, but that doesn't match either. So chalk it up to 'the people running the website don't really care that much'?

This is what they have as of today for the standings after Les Gets. You can see the race by race points awarded. Note that it says "Revised 20/09" which, I believe, means September 9.

20/09 means 20th of September. The most logical date format that we refuse to use 😂. DD/MM/YY
Wow. That is most madness. Major oopsies that went unnoticed and then a fly by night fix? Giving serious credit to UCI’s bad reputation. Thanks Chris at Downtime!

Well no one is really wrong. Perhaps the best for the site/company to explain the date format they use? Instead of assuming?
[I've done some websiting and date formats amongst a lot of things across the globe come up]
I like to think of it as this: If from US/North America (usually) MM/DD/YYYY as in 07/04/2026. That's the fourth of july, 2026. Being American and such, we prefer it that way. When is your birthday? March 17 1886.
If NOT from US/NA then it's this (usually) DD/MM/YYYY. And let's look at July 4th 2026. So literally, the euros usually say it is 4, July 2026. See how that follows the "edit field" of 'date format' of said date field? When is your birthday? 17 of March 1886.
See how they say the date, then the month? Yeah. Confusion happens. TIme zones are worse. Don't ask me to translate to India time, cuz they're .5hr off no matter which way you slice it. :D
Edit: I'd also like to throw in a bit from Inglorious Bastards, "the German 3" vs "English 3"? Something like that, right? I thought all the euros counted from the thumb. North Americans start 1 with the index finger. So If I'm at a museum in Amsterdam and say "one" with my index finger. He actually assumes "2" cuz he didn't see the thumb and doesn't care anyways. So to him, it's 2. Don't ask. Just pay. And say you're from Texas or Albuquerque. :D

They have to fly in dirt in spots that they can’t dig. I think it’s an agreement with BC parks. Have trucked or flown in 282,000 cubic feet
that is pretty wild. and also a lot of dirt.
282000 cubic feet is about 8000 m3 or 11000 - 14000 tons. To me that sounds like gigantic bike park jumps.
you would be surprised how little a ton of dirt/sand/gravel goes when spread out.
10m x 10m x 10mm depth is 1m3, thats a light dusting. Let alone build anything.

If people want to read about date formats, there are better resources than this forum. Hence the links.
Back to race talk please.
And the Golden Arrow for Least Focused Sport Growers goes to…
They had the points wrong? All season? Say it with me:
“Bro.”
This just in: WBD just changed the name of the 1199 track to 868.
(which some of you dipshits mistook for 868, cuz yer euro)
Chris Ball overheard at Regional Biz Guy Tryouts: “yeah so I kinda run the whole thing…it’s pretty much the F6 of mountain biking.”
There's always Reddit for that bollocks, people.
You can also go argue about metric/imperial, then follow up with tipping and drinking water in restaurants.
The UCI couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery. Fucking useless morons.
