. Separate titles are awarded for men and women. The men's events include categories for junior and "elite" (an open age category) using bicycles with 20" and 26" wheels. There is also a team event, in which each country enters one junior and one elite 20" rider, one junior and one elite 26" rider, and one female rider. From 1986 to 1994 there were no separate categories for bikes with different wheel sizes. The 20" and 26" categories were introduced in 1995. The women's category was introduced in 2001. A team event has been included since the first UCI world championships in 1986, though the format has varied over time.
