Race locations and schedule
In July 2017, it was announced that Harrogate would host two circuit races and the other races were to start in locations across the county of Yorkshire, including Beverley, Doncaster, Leeds, Northallerton, Ripon and York.[1]
At the 2018 UCI Road World Championships in September 2018, further details for the championships were announced.[2] Harrogate will host the finishes for all eleven races during the eight days of racing,[3] including the new-for-2019 mixed team time trial relay; three of these races will be contested entirely within a circuit of 14 kilometres (8.7 miles) in and around Harrogate. Ripon was announced to hold the start of two time trials, while the men's time trial will start in Northallerton.[4] For the road races, Richmond was announced as the start location for the men's junior road race, while Doncaster would hold the start for the two remaining age-group races.[4] The elite races were announced to be starting in Bradford (women) and Leeds (men) respectively.[2]

Legacy
The legacy of the Worlds event has been reported with £15 million worth of funding to go towards the construction of 27 off-road racing venues around the country, "to ensure that every part of Britain has close access to a closed road circuit, velodrome, BMX track or mountain bike trail".[6]
