More About the UCI Gran Fondo World Championships
Sportive Breaks is one of the most experienced tour operators supporting riders at the UCI Gran Fondo World Championships. We were the Official Travel Partner for the 2023 UCI Gran Fondo World Championships in Perth, Scotland, and have since provided travel and support packages for riders attending the 2024 edition in Aalborg, the 2025 edition in Lorne, and the 2026 edition in Niseko.
Launched in 2011, the UCI Gran Fondo World Series (formerly known as the UCI World Cycling Tour) is a series of UCI-sanctioned road races held all over the world. Throughout the 2026-2027 season, a series of events will qualify the top 25% in each age group for the 2027 UCI Gran Fondo World Championships. The age group winners of the UCI Gran Fondo World Championships are awarded the UCI rainbow jersey. The qualifier events are open to riders of all levels – those who aim to make the podium and others who wish to cross the finish line in the best possible time. For more information, click here.
Who can take part in the UCI Gran Fondo World Championships?
Each UCI Gran Fondo World Series event of the 2026-2027 seasons grants qualification rights for the 2027 UCI Gran Fondo World Championships (to view the events calendar, click here). Based on the results of each race, the first 25% of athletes in each age group will be qualified for the UCI Gran Fondo World Championships. The 25% is calculated based on the number of starters in each age group, and not on the number of riders having finished the race. In addition, the first three riders of each official age category will qualify directly for the UCI Gran Fondo World Championships, independently of the number of starters in that age group. Riders must finish the race to gain qualification. For all rules, click here.
Jersey is obligatory
It is mandatory for a rider to wear their national kit at the UCI Gran Fondo World Championships Time Trial, Team Relay and Road Race. Although the official national jersey is not required, a jersey representing their country with a similar design and colours as the original national team jersey is required. Private or club sponsors are allowed to be featured on the national jersey.
