<\/p>\nTrentino is set to host the 2031 UCI Road World Championships, with the official announcement expected on Thursday, 25 September, following a decision made during the UCI Council meeting in Kigali, Rwanda. This will be the third edition of the so-called \u201cSuper Worlds,\u201d combining all cycling disciplines \u2013 road, track, BMX, and mountain bike \u2013 into a single event.<\/p>\n
The championships will return to Italy eleven years after the 2020 Worlds in Imola, bringing the rainbow bands back to one of the country\u2019s most cycling-rich regions. Trento is expected to be the centrepiece, hosting the road races, just as it did during the 2021 European Championships, where Ellen van Dijk won the women\u2019s road race and Marlen Reusser triumphed in the time trial. The Val di Sole and Val di Fassa will feature prominently in the mountain bike events, with downhill races staged in the high Alpine terrain, while the track programme will take place at the new velodrome in Spresiano near Treviso. BMX venues are still to be confirmed, with Verona likely to be involved.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The local commitment is substantial, with \u20ac30 million earmarked to support the event, underlining the ambition to showcase Trentino\u2019s organisational capacity and natural beauty. The provincial government, represented in Kigali by president Maurizio Fugatti and a delegation including Trentino Marketing leaders, described the bid as \u201ca quality dossier\u201d designed to involve the whole region.<\/p>\n
For Trento, already ranked by Il Sole 24 Ore as Italy\u2019s most sporting province, the Worlds offer an opportunity to consolidate that reputation and reinvigorate urban spaces, including the redevelopment of the San Vincenzo area. With Olympic and Paralympic winter events also coming to northern Italy in the years ahead, the 2031 Worlds form part of a wider strategy to project the region onto the global sporting stage.<\/p>\n
The announcement will confirm Trentino as the successor to upcoming hosts such as Montr\u00e9al 2026 and Haute-Savoie 2027, ensuring that Italy remains a recurring landmark in the history of the World Championships.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Trentino is set to host the 2031 UCI Road World Championships, with the official announcement expected on Thursday,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":166196,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[569],"tags":[64,63,784,85],"class_list":["post-166195","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cycling","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-cycling","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/166195","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=166195"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/166195\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/166196"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=166195"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=166195"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=166195"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
