The 2024 UCI Road World Championships was the 97th edition of the UCI Road World Championships, the annual world championships for road bicycle racing. It was held between 22 and 29 September 2024 in Zurich, Switzerland, alongside the UCI Para-cycling Road World Championships.
A total of thirteen events were held, consisting of six road races, six individual time trials and a team time trial mixed relay (all of them finishing in Zurich in front of Sechseläutenplatz).
The event was overshadowed by a fatality in competition, as 18-year-old Swiss rider Muriel Furrer died from injuries sustained in a race crash during the junior women's road race.[1] The event was continued at the express request of Muriel Furrer's parents and family, with a series of tributes and memorials.
