The first combined UCI Cycling World Championships take place in Scotland from 3-13 August – and all the action will be shown live across the BBC.
Over 11 days of competition, 13 World Championships will be contested across seven disciplines, with Para-cycling fully integrated for the first time.
About 2,700 cyclists will compete for more than 200 gold medals.
Track, road, mountain bikes and BMX are included, and there are mass-participation events for amateurs.
What are the Cycling World Championships?
While all disciplines have their own annual championships, the UCI – cycling’s world governing body – plans to use this format every four years, in pre-Olympic years, to create a “festival of cycling”.
Racing will take place across Scotland, from the downhill mountain biking in Fort William to the Para-road cycling in Dumfries and Galloway, with Glasgow at the centre.
The opening ceremony will take place at Glasgow’s George Square on Wednesday from 17:00-20:00 BST.
The first gold medals will be awarded in the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome on Thursday in the track and Para-cycling track disciplines.
Who is competing for Great Britain?
A total of 39 world, Olympic and Paralympic champions, including Katie Archibald, Sarah Storey, Neil Fachie, Geraint Thomas, Mark Cavendish, Tom Pidcock, Bethany Shriever and Charlotte Worthington, have been named in Great Britain’s 200-strong team.
Those riders will be joined by more than 600 other riders representing Great Britain in the indoor cycling, Gran Fondo, BMX freestyle flatland, trials, BMX race challenge, mountain bike marathon and E-mountain bike events.
