OlyBet has confirmed an agreement to sponsor the upcoming 2025 WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series alongside Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) Sports.
The three-round partnership kicked off last weekend at the Gravity double-header in Loudenville-Peyragudes. The betting company will also support the series at the upcoming rounds in Morillon and Les Gets, in the Haute-Savoie region.
OlyBet, which launched in France in 2024, will support all three French rounds of the 2025 series. The partnership kicked off last weekend (May 30–June 1) at the Gravity double-header in Loudenville-Peyragudes and will continue in August with back-to-back race weekends in Haute-Savoie: the UCI Enduro World Cup in Morillon (August 22-24), followed by the UCI Downhill and Cross-country World Cups in Les Gets (August 28-31).
