Only a great champion can come out on the world championship circuit

All cycling of the year, except cyclocross, is played at the Glasgow World Cup

When a year and a half ago I read about the mega cycling event that the UCI wanted to organize for the Glasgow World Cup, I liked what was explained. read a piece of news that comes to certify an old desire of the UCI and shape “The Cycling Event”with capital letters: the 2023 Glasgow World Cup.

Just after the Tour de France and before the Vuelta a España, an unprecedented location since the Vuelta takes place between August and September.

In fact, the last World Cup I remember in August was the one in Sicily, in 1994, which ended up in the hands of Luc Leblanc and lived the first edition of the World Cup against the clock as we understand it today.

By the way, “worldwide” that one.

Here, for this reason, all the cycling in the world comes together, all the modalities in Glasgow, including BTT, downhill, marathon and XC that was not in the first erased.

Of the August 3 to 13days of the cycling world championships in Glasgow, a test that the UCI wants to normalize every four years or what is the same, the year before an Olympic Games.

The idea seems good to me, it is a way of claiming the role of the bicycle and the wealth of cyclingtaking advantage of the pull of road cycling to feed the smaller modalities.

More than one will realize that the bicycle can take many forms that the result will be good, sure.

We have given the UCI so many blows many times, sometimes they come up with good ideas

The tumble that we feared in certain preparations, especially among those on the road, has not been so traumatic.

The World Cup will have people from the Tour, people for the Vuelta but above all specialists in a very peculiar route, very flamenco-

People like Roglic, Vingegaard or Ayuso will not be part of the game, thinking or recovering from other appointments.

In fact La Vuelta announces a great turnout.

Imagine that we see the new rainbow in Barcelona in less than four weeks.

For this reason, I believe that, apart from the imbalances that are sure to occur, it’s good news for cyclingwhich is promoted as a single sport, plus a World Cup in Glasgow, with the cycling culture that is growing on the islands, will be a public success

Also around all cycling, except for winter, cyclocross at a key moment, with a lot at stake, in less than a year it will be Paris 2024.

The absence of gravel in the program is striking, one of two, or Scotland has no places for gravel, let me doubt it, or the money that Flanders puts has convinced the UCI,
