The 2015 UCI Road World Championships will take place in Richmond, Virginia.[1] The event consists of a road race and a time trial for men, women and men under 23. It will be the 82nd Road World Championships.
Bidding
When UCI's deadline expired on 20 February 2011, three nations had announced their intention to bid for this event:[2]
- Richmond, Virginia,
United States
- Richmond announced its bid to host these championships at an official press conference on 21 December 2010.[3]
Oman [4]- During the 2011 Tour of Oman race organiser Eddy Merckx confirmed that the Arabian country would bid to host the 2015 world championships. He offered his support, and media reports indicated he could have a key role in the organisation of the championships.[5]
- Quebec City, Quebec,
Canada
- Quebec City bid for these championships after being encouraged by Pat McQuaid, president of the UCI.[6][7] Quebec City was the only Canadian city that entered a bid by Cycling Canada's deadline of 7 November 2010. In 2011 Quebec City withdrew, citing the high cost of hosting the event ($20 million).[8]
On September 21, 2011, Richmond was selected as host. The event will be held September 19-27, 2015.[1]
