The 2011 UCI Road World Championships take place in Copenhagen, Denmark, over September 19-25, 2011 with daily live coverage on British Eurosport & the BBC Red Button.  

The championships are split into two disciplines: road race and time trial. For each of these there are five categories: men, women, under-23 men, junior men and junior women, giving ten events in all.

From the 19th of September to the 21st five Time Trial events are being staged in the heart of Copenhagen with start and finish in front of Copenhagen City Hall.

On the 22nd of September the UCI Road World Championships ride to Rudersdal north of Copenhagen. Here also the Men’s Elite Road Race – 266 k – will take place – starting at the Copenhagen City Hall and finishing on Geels Bakke in Rudersdal on the 25th of September.

Mark Cavendish will be in the running for the elite men’s road race title and will be backed up by a solid team of seven riders that includes 2011 Vuelta a Espana podium finishers Chris Froome and Bradley Wiggins. Wiggins also joins David Millar in the men’s time trial.

The women’s road race team includes Lizzie Armitstead, former World Champion Nicole Cooke and Emma Pooley. Pooley will defend her world title in the women’s time trial as Britain’s only representative.

In addition to daily live coverage on British Eurosport & BBC Red Button, there will be highlights on BBC One & Two.  Jill Douglas will present BBC One highlights from the time trials on Saturday 24 September at 1pm with BBC Two screening highlights from the road race at 3.10pm on Sunday 25 September.
