Initially scheduled to take place in Cali, Columbia, from August 12-22, 2010, the UCI World Paracycling Championships will finally be relocated.
The road events will take place from August 17-22 in Baie-Comeau, in the province of Quebec, Canada. The track races will take place in November or December; several potential organizers have been contacted by the UCI, which will shortly attribute this part of the event.
In parallel with the relocation of the World Championship competitions, the final round of the UCI Paracycling World Cup, which was to take place in Baie-Comeau from July 2-4, will take place from August 13-15 in the same region, in Sept-Îles. The organizer of these two events is the same (Paramanic International).
The proximity – both geographic and date-wise – of the final round of the Paracycling World Cup and the discipline’s World Championships will be an advantage for the participating nations: reduced costs, simpler logistics and acclimatization to the time difference.
The UCI would like to thank the Baie-Comeau organizers, who, despite the relatively short deadline, have accepted to organize the road events of the UCI Paracycling World Championships. On the other hand, it regrets the sudden and unexpected defection of the Columbian National Federation.
The Paracycling World Championships, which this year will welcome some 325 athletes from more than 40 countries, have been organized under the UCI’s auspices since 2007. The competitions in the 2010 edition count towards qualification for the 2012 London Paralympic Games.
