Following its first meeting of 2016 held in conjunction with the UCI Cyclo-cross World Championships in Heusden-Zolder, Belgium, the UCI Management Committee has decided to award the 2018 UCI Road World Championships to the city of Innsbruck, Austria.

2018 will be the third time the UCI Road World Championships have been held in Austria after 1987 in Villach and 2006 in Salzburg.

The host cities for the next two World Road Championships are Doha in Qatar which will host this year’s event whilst Bergen in Norway will be the venue in 2017.

“I have no doubt that Innsbruck will provide a stunning and challenging route for riders to compete on, as well as a wonderful, unique backdrop that can only add to the spectator and viewer experience”, said UCI President Brian Cookson.
