The International Cycling Union (UCI) has assigned the 2008 World Road Cycling Championships to Varese, Italy. Italy had two separate bids for the 2008 World's, and Valkenburg, The Netherlands also had one, but Varese got the nod over Lucca (Tuscany), and the Dutch town.
Next year's World's will be in Salzburg, Austria, while those of 2007 will be in Stuttgart, Germany.
