Taking time out of the Wollongong World Championships to make a major announcement, the UCI have disclosed the location of the 2027 ‘Super World Championships’ – a huge event that will take place in the iconic French Haute-Savoie region.
Five time Tour de France champion Bernard Hinault was on hand to make the announcement that included details of the Gran Fondo World Championships also being held within the major event.
“Haute-Savoie naturally stands out as a showcase for our beautiful country, homeland of cycling”, said Martial Saddier of the Haute-Savoie region. “(The region) evokes the majestic Mont Blanc, roof of Europe, the mythical passes, places of historical exploits and exceptional training.”
