The circuit will likely be brutal, the roads tiny and the weather will be atrocious, sounds like a recipe for a great race!

 

[Pricey_sky]

You beat me to it, I agree it could be a super race, hope they get it.

 

[Red Rick]

Rooting for GB on this one

 

[Jagartrott]

Would be an excellent location.
Please also offer to organise it this year in lieu of that desert farce.

 

[DNP-Old]

Colombia is also in contention, fwiw.

Would be a recipe for a great race with olympic size teams... give the best nations 9 riders and say France helped by Australia for Matthews will control the race for their 27 year old Alaphilippe to take the prize....

The weather is usually pretty decent in September

I remember some TOB stages in atrocious conditions, the one which went over Honister Pass particularly springs to mind.

A Yorkshire WC would be great, but why try it in the same year as Colombia. i want both

 

[gerundium]

Yorkshire WC sounds like a good idea. Potential for some really good classic style parcours and what we have seen from the TdF start also with some amazing local support.

Nothing like we will see this year.

Pretty sure Bogota bid for this year's worlds. I'm just going to go and cry a little now.

I bet they'll propose an awesome circuit and the UCI won't have any of it.

 

[BigMac]

Well, they went for Bergen... I have hope.

 

[hrotha]

They went for Ponferrada too, but the circuit we got had little to do with what the organizers had in mind at first.

They wanted to finish atop el Morredero right?

My guess is a somewhat hilly transfer into a course in and around Sheffield with a similar finish to the tour stage.

 

[Brullnux]

That would probably be the case; is it necessary for it to be a circuit? For Yorkshire I reckon it would work better without a circuit, but I am not sure if this is possible, both logistically and according to the rules

Oh man that would be awesome. Come on UCI

Don't think so, the TT had a 5km MTF though

 

[GenericBoonenFan]

GVA world champion 2019?

 

[Cannibal72]

He'll have a decent chance with the Bergen circuit that I'd imagine.

 

[Gigs_98]

2018 will probably have a brutal route for climbers. (They want 5000 meters of altitude gain). Therefore I'd rather have a hilly route like Yorkshire for the worlds 2019 and then maybe Colombia in 2020, which would probably also be for climbers...or they make it pan flat so the dominant sprinter of 2020, Fernando Gaviria can win

 

[El Pistolero]

With the corrupt UCI we already know Yorkshire will get it.

Be a LBL esque circuit in yorkshire most likely.
