How to catch all of the action at the 2024 road cycling world championships
The 2024 UCI Road and Para-Cycling Road World Championships take place in Switzerland from 21 to 29 September, with courses for the road racing and time trials around Zurich.
The timing has been pushed back from 2023 by the Paris Olympics and the rescheduling of other events around this, such as the Tour de France Femmes.
As in previous years, the UCI Gravel World Championships take place at a separate date and location. They won’t be held until 5 and 6 October and will take place in Flanders in Belgium.
