Yorkshire 2019 CEO Andy Hindley said: “Hosting the UCI Road World Championships is a once-in-a-generation event so we felt it only fitting that we had an opening ceremony. We’re thrilled to have the UCI President David Lappartient in attendance to officially get things going and have laid on some great entertainment which will add to the party atmosphere.
“Of course, the racing will have already got going earlier that day with the Yorkshire 2019 Para-Cycling International, so it’s much a celebration of that as well as the start of the Championships proper.”
As Andy mentioned, the Yorkshire 2019 Para-Cycling International takes place on Saturday 21 September and is the first para-cycling event to have ever been organised alongside the UCI Road World Championships.
It will be one of the highest-profile para-cycling competitions ever held and include 26 races in total, with men’s and women’s contests taking place across all four para-cycling classifications. Setting off from Beverley, Tadcaster and Wetherby, all races will finish in Harrogate and the results will count towards qualification for the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games.
The Fan Zone meanwhile, is open to general public from 21-29 September and admission is free. The first weekend is particularly family friendly, with a whole host of entertainment being aimed at children.
The Fan Zone will very much be the place to be during the nine days of action, with giant screens allowing people to watch every race live and every medal presentation taking place on the main stage.
It’s not all about the cycling though, there will also be a wide range of high-quality food and drinks providers on hand as well as a traders village and official merchandise superstore.
