Late changes afoot for 2023 UCI Gravel World Championships
Re𓂃ports that race organiser is changing with little more than six week to go till race for gravel rainbow jerseys

The 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:2023 UCI Gravel World Championships is on the calendar for October 7 and 8 in the Veneto region of Italy, l꧙ittle more than six weeks away, but news has emerged that at this la♕te stage there has been a change to the organiser of the rainbow jersey event.
Last year, Italy was named as the location of the first UCI Gravel World Championships in June, with the routes published just a li🅘ttle more than four weeks out from the race, but the delivery of a two-year term for the nation looked s༺et to provide a greater degree of certainty for the event in 2023.
However, the uncertainty has continued this year, with no sign of course details yet and reports emerging in the Ital🍰ian media that the race organiser has changed from PP Sports.
“In recent days, the UCI officially communicated its de💜cision to PP Sports, Pippo Pozzato's organisers: no world championship in Vicenza and Cittadella, as happened last year,” . ”And afterwards, the inspectors of the International Federation carried out an inspection in the Treviso area, in particular on the ꦚProsecco Hills which are a World Heritage Site.”
There has not yet been confirmation of any changes from the UCI, but Tuttobici said everything suggests that the organisation will be entrusted to the company of Massimo Panighel, historic organiser of off-road events, including the world and national championships. Cyclingnews has contacted the UCI for comment.
The Italiaಞn Cycling Federation, has also in a statement said that it was informed that the UCI✅ had revoked the organisation rights PP Sport Events.
"The Italian Cycling Federation, having taken note of the UCI's decision, promptly took steps to ensure that the org🍌anization of the event was not destined elsewhere," it said in a statement on its website.
