After playing a c🦂entra🌳l role in the 2021 Road World Championships, Leuven will award another rainbow jersey in 2024, this time to the best gravel riders.
The 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:first UCI Gravel World Championships were held in October in Italy, from Vicenza to Cittadella, with France’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Pauline Ferrand-Prévot winning the elite women’s rainbow jersey and Belgium’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Gianni Vermeersch taking out the men’s elite title.
The World Championships will again be held in I▨taly in 2023, before moving to Belgium in ☂2024, with organisers announcing this week the the event in Flanders will start in Halle and work its way through to a Leuven finale.
“After the 100th World Cycling Championships that took place in Flanders 📖in 2021, we are now also bringing the World Cup gravel to Flanders,” said Ben Weyts, Flemish Minister of Sport.
“With our Brabantse Wouden as a beautiful green bဣackdrop, we can once aga🌜in show Flanders as a cycling nation with great organizational talent.”
Organis🐼er Golazo said the riders will cross the Brabantse Wouden from west to east, with riders starting out with a loop that brings them back through the Halle start line before heading through the Hallerbos and the Zoniënwoud to the Meerdaalwoud. There the elite riders will complete a loop “several times” before a Leuven finish.
The ꦉfull details of the course and distances across the categories are yet to be discꦿlosed.
Before Belgium hosts its first UCI Gravel World Championships in 2024 it will also introduce its own Gravel National Championships in 2023, to run on October 15. The national title race will start and finish in Oud-Heverlee, which the World Championshꦗips finish loop in the Meerdaalwoud runs through.
“Becoming the first Belgian champion in gravel, after being the first world champion, is what I want to go for," said 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Vermeersch.
"I also note the World Champ🎐ionships with a dot. I knoღw the region from a number of cyclocross races in the past.
"Here you can map out a very nice course with quite a few altimeters. Bacon to my mouth, I'm already lo🔯oking forward to it and I won't be the only one."
