2024 World Championships: the course and the entrants for the Elite Men’s and Women’s events

The Elite road races of the 2024 UCI Cycling World Championships in Zurich will take place on Saturday, September 28 (women) and Sunday, September 29 (men). On a challenging course, Tadej Pogacar is the big favorite among the men. But Remco Evenepoel, already crowned in the time trial on September 22 and Olympic champion in Paris two months ago, is not expected to make it easy for him, nor is Mathieu van der Poel, the defending champion, or Marc Hirschi, the man in form at the moment. Among the French, Julian Alaphilippe and David Gaudu will try to make their mark. In the women’s race, Demi Vollering is the favorite, but we will follow with curiosity the return of French rider Pauline Ferrand-Prevot to this level, 10 years after her road world title. Find the courses, the participants, and the TV broadcast times.

The Elite men’s race will start from the town of Winterthur in the canton of Zurich. After a first loop of approximately 40 km and 400 m of elevation gain, the course will head towards Zurich with a first real difficulty (12% average gradient, 16% max) before entering the final circuit at km 69. Seven laps of 26.850 km with an elevation gain of 409 m will then be completed. This circuit includes a climb of 1.1 m at 8.6% (with a short section of over 15% at the summit), and a climb of 2.3 km at 5.7%, before a false flat of 800 m at 3.6% approaching the finish line. 273.9 km with 4470 m of elevation gain are on the program.

The start of the women’s race will be given in Uster, as for all other categories, before joining the final circuit, where four laps will be completed, for a total of 154.1 km with 2488 m of elevation gain.
