Our reputation as a good host country is also down to our commitment to delivering a tangible and lasting legacy for our events. This ensures that the impact of hosting is felt throughout our clubs and communities long after the final rider has crossed the line.

Thanks to this event by the Scottish Government and sportscotland, £8 million will be invested into Scottish cycling facilities, benefitting riders across the country for years to come.

Of course, the most important part of our events is you – the fans. What really sets our country apart is the cacophony of noise you create in the velodrome, your encouragement on the roadside and mountainside, and the overwhelming sense of joy and community you create.

I hope you enjoy your time at the Championships. I’ve no doubt you’ll do us proud, once again.
