Deerfield Beach, FL – MAPEI, leader in chemical products for the building industry, continues its journey alongside the UCI - Union Cycliste Internationale as Main Partner of the UCI Road and Para-Cycling Road World Championships, which is being held in Zurich, Switzerland, on September 21-29, 2024.
The UCI Road World Championships return to Switzerland after 15 years – they were held in Mendrisio in 2009 – and for the first time are held in combination with the UCI Para-Cycling Road World Championships. All the athletes are sharing the same roads and crossing the same finish line. Over 1,600 athletes are competing across Elite, Under 23, Junior and Para-Cycling categories for a total of 66 UCI world titles.
The collaboration between MAPEI and the UCI is further strengthened, underlining the deep bond between the company and cycling. This relationship began in 1993, when MAPEI entered the world of cycling, supporting until 2002 a professional cycling team that racked up 654 international victories. Since 2008, MAPEI has been the Main Sponsor of the UCI Road World Championships, supporting this prestigious international event every year. The bond between MAPEI and the UCI stems from sharing the same values such as hard work, teamwork and determination to face new challenges.
The races are being broadcast on the world's main television channels on the five continents, guaranteeing widespread and high-impact coverage. In Italy, the event is being distributed through RAI and Eurosport.
MAPEI is present along the entire race route, with its logo visible on banners and backdrops when prizes are awarded, at press conferences and at interviews, as well as on all official communication materials.
