For the fourth time, a cycling world championship is taking place in Zurich
We have known since the summer that the 2024 Road World Championships will take place in Switzerland. As applicants for the event were still the capital Bern and the world metropolis Zurich in the race. Now the Swiss association Swiss Cycling has officially confirmed that the largest city in the country has been given preference. This is the fourth time that cycling world championships will be held in Zurich after 1923, 1929 and 1946. What is new is that for the first time the Road World Championships will be held together with the Paracycling World Championships. The exact course has not yet been announced, but the pros will definitely reach the finish at the Sechseläutenplatz and first drive through the city center and along Lake Zurich.
Switzerland stands for well-organized cycle races
Again and again we experience accidents and other negative incidents in cycling, which are related to unsatisfactory organization. Switzerland, on the other hand, stands for a certain security in the entire sports world. The Confederates have proven to be the right choice, especially in cycling. In the past ten years alone, several UCI events have been held in Switzerland. The 2009 Road World Championships took place in Mendrisio held, 2015 the Paracycling World Cup in Nottwil and in 2018 the Mountain Bike World Championships in the lenzerheide Also in 2020 the Road World Championships will be held in Switzerland, in Aigle and Martigny, discharged. The cyclocross bikers ride in Dübendorf for medals.
