The super World Championships which will take place this August will incorporate multiple disciplines at once, and as the date comes closer the routes also become more clear. Organizers have confirmed today the profiles for the elite road races. 

The men's race will consist of a whole 277 kilometers and will be the only event departing from Edinburgh. It'll be a very long race but the decisive part consists, as most, in a final circuit within Glasgow. This will be highly explosive, suited to the classics riders but also some of the sprinters.

The women's event will also be a long race, featuring 154 kilometers which will not be easy to go through. The riders start in Loch Lomong and will also have the early ascent of Crow Road before reaching Glasgow and fighting for the rainbow stripes in it's streets. It has been detailed as a circuit even more technical than the one that hosted the 2018 European Championships.
