This is the third episode of an eight-part docu-series that takes a closer look behind the scenes of the 2025 UCI Enduro World Cup season. Think Drive to Survive, but for enduro mountain bike racing – and that’s exactly what it is. It’s brilliant.
In Episode 3 of Grit and Glory, the Enduro World Cup arrives in Bielsko Biała, Poland, a venue that is still relatively new to the circuit. Expecting beautiful and almost summer-like weather, the riders were greeted with conditions that were quite the opposite, which made for some harsh conditions.
This was a home race for the Polish powerhouse Sławomir Łukasik, who was yet to take to the top step of the podium in his career. He had come so close on multiple occasions, but that gold medal still eluded him. Would the home crowd place too much pressure on his shoulders or provide the encouragement that he needed to secure his first victory? Find out in Episode 3. Catch up on Episode 2 here.
‘The UCI Enduro World Cup rolls into Bielsko-Biała, where Polish rider Sławomir Łukasik chases redemption on home soil after last year’s near miss. As the crowd rallies behind him, rising star Winnifred Goldsbury battles setbacks in her fight to prove herself among the elite. A weekend of pressure, passion, and pursuit.’ – UCI Mountain Bike World Series.
