The Tirol is ideal for stretches with especially difficult climbs due to its magnificent mountain roads. In accordance with the claim ‘Riding the Heart of the Alps’, the planned route for the Men’s Elite Road Race with approximately 5,000 metres of altitude difference already gives a first glimpse of how spectacular and challenging the 2018 UCI Road World Championships in Innsbruck-Tirol will be.
Twelve races in total will be staged in the categories Women’s & Men’s Elite, Women’s & Men’s Juniors and Men’s U-23. The races will set off in one of the official start regions Ötztal, Hall-Wattens, Alpbachtal Seenland and Kufstein and lead riders along different routes to finish in the heart of the region’s capital, Innsbruck.
Not only are hundreds of thousands of spectators expected to line the race routes, but also live TV coverage broadcast in 150 countries will reach an audience of 200 million people every day, making the UCI Road World Championships the greatest summer sport event ever held in Austria.
