Luca Schwarzbauer and Anne Terpstra were crowned overall winners of the 2026 Chelva XCO International, a weather-affected edition. Despite the cancellation of Saturday's race due to a strong wind warning, the Valencian race once again confirmed its status as one of the premier international XCO events. The action was concentrated on Sunday, with around 6.000 spectators at the circuit and over 700 athletes competing.

The UCI category event once again brought together a large part of the world's XCO elite, with particular emphasis on the men's and women's HC Elite races, held entirely on Sunday, in already good weather conditions.

Written by

ppgad@pucrs.br I am passionate about everything that has 2 wheels: in my youth I practiced competitive cycling on the road and on the track with good results. At the age of 18 I moved to cross country competing at national/international level as U23. Once I passed Elite, I made the choice to take things easier from the training point of view, and that's how my love for gravity disciplines was born, training as an FCI MTB instructor and guide. Now I have made my passion my profession by managing 3 MTB centers on the island of Elba (Elba MTB), creating the FANTAmtb and telling in an ironic but professional way, everything that revolves around MTB thanks to 365mountainbike and 365TV (YouTube 'PULITI dentro BIKER fuori').
