    BID GUIDE UCI GRAN FONDO WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS FOREWORD FROM UCI PRESIDENT DAVID LAPPARTIENT Cyclists worldwide dream of wearing the rainbow jersey of UCI World Champion, 1 a distinction that goes to only the very best of our sport. Each year, amateur riders also have the chance to win the rainbow jersey at the UCI Gran Fondo World Championships. The UCI Gran Fondo World Championships are the leading annual event for amateur road cyclists and are much awaited by athletes who have qualified at one of the UCI Gran Fondo World Series qualifiers held worldwide. To perform to their best, these athletes need to be sure that they can compete in the best possible conditions, which is why the role of the event’s host is so important. The UCI greatly appreciates the interest and commitment shown by potential organisers. In bidding to host the UCI Gran Fondo World Championships, you have already demonstrated your wish to support the athletes and I thank you sincerely for that. To help simplify the bidding process, we have prepared this concise, practical guide that was prepared after consultation with our various partners. Our aim is to help potential hosts compile a water- tight candidature file that contains all the required elements, for example concerning the competition site, infrastructure, transport, emergency services, accessibility etc. This bidding guide also answers frequently asked questions such as: What commitments do candidate organisers make? What services does the UCI offer? What are our obligations? What about scheduling and deadlines? I wish you the best of luck in your bidding procedure and hope that we will be able to come to your city or region with an edition of our UCI Gran Fondo World Championships.

    UCI CYCLING WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS 2. FOREWORD The first Cycling World Championships were held 125 years ago in Chicago, USA: for track cycling in 1893. Today the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) organises annual World Championships for each of the nine cycling disciplines under its governance. For while the UCI is very proud of the rich history and solid traditions that form the foundations of our sport, we are also constantly innovating to ensure that our events remain dominant in the sports market. For this reason, we have decided to create the UCI Cycling World Championships. This exciting multi-discipline concept will see a total of 15 UCI World Championships held in the same city on three consecutive weekends. To be held every four years starting from 2023, this event will include road, track, mountain bike (cross-country Olympic, downhill, short track and marathon), BMX Racing, BMX Freestyle (Park and Flatland), trials, indoor cycling (artistic cycling and cycle-ball), para-cycling track, para-cycling road and Grand Fondo. Each year, the UCI World Championships for these disciplines incite an enormous amount of enthusiasm: the different events are watched by many millions of fans all over the world. The UCI Cycling World Championships will create a huge buzz and most certainly have an even greater impact. Hosting such a multi-discipline event of this magnitude is a major undertaking and a truly exciting experience! The UCI greatly appreciates the interest and commitment shown by potential organisers. In bidding to host the UCI Cycling World Championships, you have already demonstrated your wish to invest in the future of cycling and I thank you sincerely for that.
