The UCI Granfondo World Series (formerly UCI World Cycling Tour) is a series of UCI-approved races held around the world. Some 25-30 qualifying races qualify the top 20% in each age group for the UCI Granfondo World Series, formerly the UCI Masters Road World Series, where the champions are awarded the coveted rainbow jersey.
Besides promoting high-level competition for Masters and Amateurs, one of the aims of this series is the globalisation of "Cycling for All". The geographical spread of the events is of great importance, in addition to strict organisational and sporting criteria and a certain tourist interest.
The UCI Gran Fondo World Series concept is aimed at highly competitive riders who either just lack the skills and talent to become a Pro Elite rider or who want to compete at a high level later in life, but also at fanatical riders who like to keep fit and finish the event.
In collaboration with the renowned Belgian sports marketing agency Golazo, the UCI has created the UCI Gran Fondo World Series. This partnership will be responsible for the overall organisation, coordination and marketing aspects of the UGFWS qualification events.
The UCI Gran Fondo World Series is a cycling for all series where cyclists from all over the world can participate in events. They can get their start ticket for the official UCI Gran Fondo World Championships in different age groups. There are qualifying events for both road races and time trials. The UCI Gran Fondo World Championships will crown the new UCI World Champions in road races and time trials.
During the season, the organization publishes all the results of the events. Classified in the different categories.
From each gran fondo and time trial of the UCI Gran Fondo World Series, the top 20% in each age group qualify for the UCI Granfondo World Championships. See who has qualified.
As a partner of the UCI Gran Fondo World Series, CycloWorld also reports regularly about the UCI Gran Fondo World Series. Read all news articles here.
