SBS On Demand will cover every second of the UCI World Cycling Championships LIVE via SBS On Demand from August 3-13.
World cycling's governing body have decided to bring 10 disciplines together for the championships in Glasgow, in what has been billed as the biggest event ever staged in the sport.
Freestyle BMX, BMX racing, cross-country, cross-country marathon, downhill, observed trials, road cycling, track cycling and para-cycling will all be on show between August 3-13, with rainbow jerseys on offer for the riders who emerge victorious.
Six world champions will represent Australia in defence of their crown on the international stage, one both Paul Brosnan and AusCycling CEO Marne Fechner believe will display the depth of Australian cycling first-hand.
“With such an extraordinary cohort of riders, Australia will be among the most competitive nations,” said Brosnan, who is the Chef de Mission for the ARA Australian Cycling Team.
“We’ve been preparing for this event for months, and our athletes are ready to show off what they can do on the world stage.”
“These World Championships will showcase the strength, breadth and depth of Australian cycling and riding across every discipline,” Fechner added.
“There will be many a late night for Australian fans, who’ll be cheering on our heroes into the early hours of the morning.
“We know our amazing team will do us proud in Glasgow.”
