2006 Paralympic World's in Aigle

The next International Paralympic Committee (IPC) World Championships will take place in Aigle, Switzerland, headquarters of the UCI, from September 9-18, 2006.

Some 300 athletes representing around 30 countries will take part in the road and track races. The riders are divided into groups of disability (blind and visually impaired, cerebral palsy, locomotor and handcycle), which themselves are subdivided into differently ranked categories.

In organising these World's, the UCI is preparing to take over the management of cyclists with disabilities, who are currently under the control of the IPC. The changeover in management will take place on January 1, 2007.
