WARNER BROS. DISCOVERY SPORTS PRESENTS GRIT & GLORY, AN EXCLUSIVE LOOK INSIDE ENDURO MOUNTAIN BIKE RACING

7 May 2025

The eight-part documentary series will follow all the action from the UCI Enduro World Cup during the 2025 WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series season, providing an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at one of mountain bike’s hardest formats.

Today, Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) Sports announces a brand-new eight-part documentary series Grit & Glory: Enduro Mountain Bike Racing, premiering in August 2025.

The docuseries will give viewers an exciting and intimate glimpse into the world of professional enduro mountain bike racing, following a select group of elite athletes as they battle it out in the UCI Enduro World Cup on the WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series circuit.

Each 23-minute episode will capture the highs and lows of one of mountain bike’s most gruelling racing formats – which combines the fitness of cross-country with the descending skills of downhill – and tell previously untold stories of the athletes and teams, revealing the passion, rivalry, and personal struggles, in a mixture of action-packed race footage and exclusive behind-the-scenes access.

After starting with an explainer episode “What is Enduro Mountain Bike Racing?”, the following seven episodes will each focus on a different UCI Enduro World Cup round throughout the 2025 WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series.

Kicking off at the season opener in Pietra Ligure - Finale Outdoor Region (Italy) and concluding with the finale in Morillon, Haute-Savoie (France), viewers will get a true understanding of the diverse and challenging terrains tackled at each race weekend, as well as the preparation and strategy that goes into competing at the top of the burgeoning mountain bike format.

The docuseries will showcase Enduro racing in a whole new light and will be exciting to watch for fans who have been with enduro since its inception as well as new viewers discovering its unique culture and grittiness for the first time.

Chris Ball, Vice President of Cycling Events at WBD Sports, said: “The expansive nature of the UCI Enduro World Cup makes live race coverage a real challenge—but Grit & Glory gives us the unique opportunity to capture the raw essence of this adrenaline-fuelled format.

Across eight episodes, we’ll take audiences closer to the action than ever before, revealing the intensity, determination, and grit of the athletes through powerful storytelling. From high-stakes descents to emotional highs and lows, the series will shine a spotlight on Enduro’s most compelling moments as we look to continue to grow excitement and awareness around mountain biking.

The 2025 WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series began in Araxá, Minas Gerais (Brazil) last month, with a high-intensity UCI Cross-country Short Track (XCC) and Cross-country Olympic (XCO) double-header. The UCI Enduro World Cup will kick off this week in Pietra Ligure-Finale Outdoor Region, Italy from 9 – 11 May.

All the action from the UCI Enduro World Cup will be available through the official platforms of the WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series, including the YouTube channel, official website, and social media profiles.

Fans will have an in-depth look at every round, beginning with a Course Preview that showcases the route and its key features. As riders take to the track, the Practice Day highlights will provide behind-the-scenes footage of them testing lines and getting comfortable with the terrain, whilst Race Day will deliver high-energy, unfiltered highlights that capture the intensity and atmosphere of the competition on race day. Key moments are shared across social media, and fans can follow live timing on the official website for real-time race updates.
