The 2023 UCI Road World Championships taking place in Glasgow, Scotland, as part of the "super Worlds", with track, indoor, BMX, mountain biking and other events. The road section begins on Saturday, 5 August, and continue for just over a week, with events happening almost every day.

This is the 96th edition of the event, which now sees 13 rainbow jerseys will be awarded across the different categories. 

The battles for the rainbow jerseys begin with the junior road races on Saturday 5 August, and end on Sunday 13 August with the women's elite road race. There are 12 separate events, with the under-23 women's road race combined with the elite road race for a second year.

The 2023 road races all end on the Glasgow City Circuit, a 14.3km urban course which includes several short climbs before the finish at George Square. The junior women and junior men will race just five and nine laps respectively of circuit.

The men’s road race will start in Edinburgh before traversing the country and spending ten laps tackling a lumpy circuit around Glasgow. The men will cover 277km with 3,167m of climbing.

The women and under-23 men, meanwhile, will both start on the banks of Loch Lomond to the north west of Glasgow before looping back down to the city. Once there they’ll enter the circuit and complete six and seven laps of the circuit respectively. The women’s elite race will be 157km with 1,930m of climbing.

The technical and twisty Glasgow circuit features the punchy climb to Park Circus at the start before heading into the centre of town passing Glasgow School of Art and the University of Strathclyde on the way.

It’ll then pass the Gallery of Modern Art and head into the city’s shopping district on its way to Glasgow’s west end. In its final leg it heads along Byres Road before making for the finishing straight at George Square.
