11 days of exhilarating competition

Throughout the celebration, we will showcase how the humble bike can bring freedom and joy to people of all backgrounds, ages and abilities; its role in saving the planet; and how we can inspire more people, in Scotland and across the globe, to make cycling an everyday part of their lives.

The Chair of the 2023 UCI Cycling World Championships and Director of EventScotland celebrates the arrival of this very special event to our beautiful country

Over the past decade, Scotland has earned a stellar reputation for hosting major events, including the 2014 Ryder Cup, the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games, 2015 World Gymnastics Championships, 2018 Multi-Sport European Championships, and UEFA EURO 2020.

And, as we add the 2023 UCI Cycling World Championships to this list, I would like to thank the UCI for entrusting us to deliver this unique Championships, and setting a blueprint for the future of the sport.

Scotland is ready – enjoy!”
