Tour de France 2014 Stage 2 in York (picture courtsesy Welcome to Yorkshire)Yorkshire awarded 2019 UCI Road World Championships
Yorkshire has been awarded the 2019 UCI Road World Championships. The decision was made by the UCI's World Cycling Congress in session today in Doha, Qatar, which is hosting this year's edition. The successful bid follows Yokshire's hosting of a hugely successful Grand Depart of the Tour de France in 2014, since when the Tour de Yorkshire legacy event has also been greeted by huge crowds.
The bid to host the eight-day event was submitted jointly by British Cycling and Welcome to Yorkshire, with Prime Minister Theresa May saying in August that “The government will underwrite the event and back it with £24m of investment so that we can get even more people to visit the region."
It will include individual and team time trials as well as junior, under-23 and elite races, with starts in North, South and West Yorkshire, as well as the East Riding.
British Cycling president Bob Howden has promised that it will be "the biggest UCI Road World Championships in history."
It will be the fourth time the UK has hosted the event, following Liverpool in 1922, Leicester in 1970 and at West Sussex’s Goodwood motor racing circuit in 1982.

Will WWIII be over by 2019?
Best news ever
Glad this has happened, just hope they don't visit East Yorkshire who do the minimum required to support cycling and as far as I can assertain have spent the last 2 years cycling budget on getting the Tour de Yorkshire to visit Beverley.
Fantastic news.
Weather will be a bit different than Qatar though
Fantastic
It meks mi feel reet proud to be a Tyke. Gud on yer Garry ! ! !
Great news and well earned. I reckon the worlds in Yorkshire will have one or two more cheering spectators than they have apparently (not) had in Doha...
There are easily double the number of fans shown in the picture from Stage 2 of the 2014 TdF included in this article (York) than seen in all of the stages combined so far from Qatar.
Will be good to have the World's back in a slightly more appropriate setting... IMHO
Appen it is
Appens as not like as maybe yer reet.
North Yorkshire is the best bit though
By 'eck, that's grand news
