Glasgow hosts a Cycling World Cup like no other. The mother of all battles, an unbeatable combat starring four extraordinary cyclists born around the turn of the century who constantly praise one day racing. A bouquet of stars that has recovered romanticism through exhibition.

Unrepentant punisher, Remco Evenepoel has earned the right to be the favorite as defending champion. The best Tadej Pogacar is also expected, the one from before the fall in Liège. The Dutch Van der Poel and the other Belgian, Van Aert, will continue with a personal battle that every day fuels their competitiveness. Among the Spaniards, the leader will be Ion Izagirre, winner of a stage in the last Tour de France.

The route has 270 kilometers. Departure from Edinburgh (10:30 a.m.) and a cold environment (rain is expected). Some 130 kilometers of preparation and 145 of frenzy. A very technical urban circuit, with narrow streets and challenging turns that will take 10 laps and that includes the 200-meter Montrose Street, a wall with two kilometers to go, which will decide the World Cup.
