This is one of the best times of the year if you are a fan of road racing in the sport of cycling. In fact, if you’ve yet to check out the upcoming world championships, I’d recommend looking at my full UCI Road World Championships preview when you can. This contains a ton of key information about the event. However, right here, I will be keeping the focus on the UCI Road World Championships schedule for 2023.
Fortunately, the schedule is packed for these championships, so we’ve got loads of high-quality races to watch. As for when the action will begin, the individual races will start on Saturday, August 5th.

Not only that, but the races are varied in how they operate too. Some are road races, others are individual time trials, and there is one mixed relay event. This means there is something for everyone. And now, let’s delve deeper into the complete UCI Road World Championships schedule.
