Just looking at the map of the trails here.

https://www.palarinsal.com/en/bike-park/map

But i can't quite see/work-out how you lap the full WC track. 

It won't matter to me as i'll only be hitting the blues after watching the Youtubes about, but i know the boy would like to do the whole of the WC track. But there seems to be variations, but not sure any link together.

'world cup' seems to stop at the Cubil lift. and then there's the 'best world DHI 2019' but that starts miles from the end of World Cup

From reading the pink bike comments I'm aware that they moved the WC course from one part of the mountain that people loved to another area that people hate. I'm guessing that coincided with the year the pits were nowhere near the track so all the teams took a van and easyup and parked up on the road across the valley near to the track. The area where I think now or at least this year was the official pit area

We were going to call for three days midweek on our way from Ainsa to Sospel on our next trip in September however we are told the lifts are closed and camping in the van would be difficult near to the lift area

Would be great to get feedback on what you could find out whilst there.

The newer WC track finishes at the bottom of the Cubil chairlift. The road gap where it crosses another run near the top is generally closed to the public to avoid back tyre/helmet interactions.

Best World DHI 19 is most of the lower half of the old track. From the look of it they've closed the top section from the Pal carpark with the footbridges over the road. Some bits in that area aren't on the map this year. There's also some good tolerated but cheeky stuff off the lower maxiavalanche.

Hmmmmm yeah that's how it read on the map/pic... Which is a bit of a shame. We're still likely to head there as it's basically on the way from Spain to Morzine, so may as well have a day out. But it may depend on how tired the boy and me are. Looks like the greens/blues are OK for me, with the reds being a bit 'gappy'
