    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.
