Team Australia for the UCI Gran Fondo World Championships

Over one hundred Australian amateur cyclists will take to the roads of Scotland to contest the 2023 UCI Gran Fondo World Championships this week.

Held annually, the Gran Fondo Worlds bring road cyclists from across the globe to compete against their age categories in a road race and an individual time trial.

This year, the event is being held during the multi-discipline UCI Cycling World Championships in Glasgow – although the gran fondo venues are actually a few hours out of Glasgow itself, in the region of Perth and Kinross.

You can read our gran fondo preview here. The road race will be held this Friday; the time trial next Monday.

More riders could be added before registrations close, but at time of writing, here are the 104 Aussies looking to challenge the world.
