The 2023 UCI World Championships is the first edition of the 'Super Worlds' or 'unified' Worlds, bringing together almost all of the cycling disciplines except for cyclocross and gravel.
The UCI Road World Championships happen a month earlier than normal, putting them in close proximity to the Tour de France and Tour de France Femmes. As such, the elite men's road race, usually the closing event, will be held on the first weekend while the elite women's road race will be at the end of the schedule.
The timing for the UCI Mountain Bike World Championships is not much different to other years but it complicates preparation for multi-discipline competitors like Olympic champion Tom Pidcock and Mathieu van der Poel, who will compete in the road race.
