Who will be competing at the UCI Cycling World Championships 2023?

Some of the biggest names will be vying to take the rainbow jersey in the men’s road race, including reigning world champion Evenepoel.

Three-time back-to-back winner Peter Sagan will be making his final appearance at the event and will be joined by Julian Alaphilippe, who won in both 2020 and 2021. Tour de France runner-up Pogacar has also confirmed he will be taking part.

Current Olympic mountain bike champion Pidcock will be confident of grabbing the elite men’s rainbow jersey after World Cup wins in both cross-country and short track earlier in the season.

Meanwhile, after disappointment at the Tour de Frances Femmes, Van Vleuten will switch her attention to matters in Scotland where she will line up as the defending champion. She will join the Dutch team that includes rival Vollering.
