These Championships, featuring 13 World Championships across 7 disciplines including Track & Para Track Cycling will be the biggest showcase of two-wheeled action that the world has seen. It will be the first time that the Road Race World Championships have come to Scotland, following on from the huge success of the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow which saw a world-class field of riders taking on the streets of the city.
The World Championships are the one-off, single chance to win World Champion medals and coveted rainbow jerseys, with all riders representing their countries.
About Road Race
The 2023 UCI Road Cycling World Championships will take place across central Scotland – with each race reaching a thrilling conclusion on the tight and technical streets of Glasgow. The Elite Men will be making their way west from their start in Edinburgh, while the U23 Men and the Elite & U23 Women will head east from Loch Lomond into Glasgow city centre. The Juniors and the Mixed Relay Time Trial will use the Glasgow course to complete the required laps.
The courses are still classified information at this stage, but we can expect to see iconic Scottish landmarks, challenging climbs and plenty of opportunities for breakaways to make their make on the race.
Road racing is a classic format – the first rider over the line wins. However, there is a lot that can happen between the start and finish and a high degree of tactics and teamwork come into play. Each member of the team will be representing their team, a change from their usual trade teams and well-practiced lead-out trains. If a breakaway gets away a solo or smaller group of riders could stay out in front and have to use all their skills to get around the laps of Glasgow city centre – or we could see a thrilling bunch sprint into George Square.
You don’t want to miss this unique opportunity to watch this thrilling event – Expect a large bunch of sprints, eyewatering speeds and teamwork aplenty!
