Brussels bids to host 2030 World Championships with an eye on economic and social impact
CyclingThursday, 13 April 2023 at 02:30
The UCI World Championships is one of the most significant events in the cycling calendar. Its potential to attract riders and fans from all corners of the world makes it a sought-after opportunity for cities that hope to benefit economically from the influx of tourists.
Brussels is set to submit a formal application to host the 2030 World cycling championship, with the hope of emulating the success of the 2021 World Cycling Championships held in Flanders.
The Flanders championships attracted over 1 million visitors, who spent an average of 4.5 nights in the region and contributed almost 36 million euros to the local economy through expenses such as accommodation, food and drink, transport, and other costs, providing a substantial economic boost of 27.4 million euros.
Furthermore, Brussels is striving to establish a social impact through its World Cup bid. The tournament had 208 million TV viewers from 113 countries in 2021 and was followed by millions of social media users.

- What!! 5 million for a martinez and a Remco and Vingegaard as well. Something is seriously wrong. Should be 5 mil in 3 years probably.abstractengineer08-11-2024
- Remco could definitely lose a couple kilograms. That would help him a lot if he can keep his sustained power which is likely at his age. Above all else though, he needs support. He would have definitely been second if he had Jonas' supportVeganpotter08-11-2024
- van der poel is, what, 29? probably gonna be looking pretty good for this list by the time he walks away in 5 or 6 years.OCexile08-11-2024
- Jonas will be strong next year, he came into the Tour so lightweight after his injuries in that crash. I feel like he'll be focused and ready to go. That said Tadej is going to be tough to beat but it can happen. Should be a great Tour.awp08-11-2024
- It's going to be a great fight! I hope JV gets there in shape, Pogi aswell! And, I hope the Giro wont be a goal, but the Vuelta instead. Let Wout do his Giro (or Jorgensen as GC he can still do the Tour after or the Vuelta) Then, JV and Pogi, will have a match in both the Tour and the Vuelta! (Given Pogi goes for the Tour-Vuelta this time)Stitz08-11-2024
