The 2023 World Championships will for the first time host a group of different disciplines all at once making for an Olympics-like event set to take place in and around Glasgow between the 3rd and 13th of August 2023.
The 11-day event will take 13 existing World Championships across Road and Track cycling, aswell as Mountain Bike and BMX. It has recently announced the location in which the road time-trial event will take place, the city of Stirling.
Located roughly at the same distance between Glasgow and Edinburgh, the Scottish city has a population of just under 40.000 people as is nicknamed the "Gateway to the Highlands". The organizers were keen to make sure the city's castle is on a highlight, as the event is set to have a very scenic route through the undulating green hills of the region.
Chris Boardman, former World and Olympic champion, who is now a policy adviser at British Cycling added: “I’m thrilled Stirling will host the time trial as part of the 2023 UCI Cycling World Championships. I have great memories of winning the time trial stage of the PruTour when it was here. The castle is a spectacular backdrop that adds drama and showcases the heritage of the region. It is the perfect stage for an extra special World Championship that brings together so many disciplines for the first time."
