ABOUT THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS
The Road World Championships (Worlds) is cycling’s pinnacle event, held annually in an international city as chosen by the
Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) through a competitive bidding process similar to the Olympic Games.
The Worlds is a nine-day event, featuring 12 Championship races for Elite Men and Women, Under 23 Men and Junior Men
and Women. It is a rare opportunity for the athletes to compete for their country, just as they do during the Olympic Games.
Athletes compete in three different disciplines including the traditional Road Race, the Individual Time Trial and the recently
introduced Team Time Trial. World Champions are crowned in each discipline.
The Worlds is truly one of the great global sporting events. It is covered by more than 500 media outlets from around the world
and is broadcast live to a global audience of more than 300 million people.
