Talk:UCI Road World Championships

Mountain race=
In nearly every article about the single WCs it says "100km team mountains race". There is no such race. Nicola54 (talk) 13:58, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I think I noticed this at one time - I guess a bad translation from somewhere - and surely meaning 100 km team time trial? SeveroTC 15:21, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

Complete medal table?
I noticed there are medal tables for each event (or most of them)

What about a complete medal table for all events at all UCI Road WChs? If anyone can be bothered to make it. I'm sure there are. This is the internet. ;)

 * I'll do it if someone will create the pages for the 1921-1926 amateur races, so that the medal table can be complete. Athox (talk) 03:46, 22 September 2012 (UTC)


 * If it can be sourced! SeveroTC 07:51, 22 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Found the results for that at http://sports123.com/rcy/mw-rra.html but I'm considering dropping the amateur and U23/junior races and only doing the senior road race and time trial or something (for both men and women). Any thoughts? Athox (talk) 20:43, 23 September 2012 (UTC)


 * They are the results, but this is going into original research territory (WP:SYNTH). Wikipedia shouldn't decide which events to count, it should go on the basis of third party sources to determine what is important. I'm also concerned about attributing the country of registration in the UCI teams time trial to a nation - something I've expressed at Talk:2012 UCI Road World Championships without anyone replying or providing sources.

 * One of the reasons for doing that (trade teams) I think is because the national anthem played at the medal ceremony is the one from the country where the team is registered. You could technically give out 6 of each medal distributed among the riders' nationalities, but that would severely impact the medal table. I guess the table could be made with more rows, one for each "type" of race, and then a sort of total at the end. But that doesn't solve the trade team problem though.

 * Yes, but that is still original research. I had a look at the UCI rules about this today, I couldn't find anything about creating a medal table (though the UCI rules aren't exactly easy to read). There were the points about raising the flag and playing the anthem of the country of team registration (as well as presenting medals to the rider, giving a cup to the team director and the team having a special logo for the next year). But nothing about medal tables, and nothing in third party sources about the 2012 table (so far - perhaps when there are some summary articles written in the next few says).

 * It's probably better to have the medal tables for each event on that event's page, such as UCI_Road_World_Championships_–_Men's_time_trial, at least then the team time trial pages can be sorted out separately. Athox (talk) 22:49, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

Proposal related to featuring this event at Wikipedia:In the news
You are invited to join the discussion at Wikipedia talk:In the news § Remove ITN/R: Sports cleanup. &#x0020; Currently this event is listed at In the news/Recurring items, meaning that it has been judged significant enough that, if nominated, it will always be posted to the In the news section of the main page (subject to article quality being sufficient). However as it has not been nominated recently as proposal has been made to remove it from that list. If the proposal is successful, the event may still be nominated but the nomination will debate the significance of the event as well as article quality. To avoid splitting discussion, please leave your comments in at the linked discussion rather than here. Thryduulf (talk) 20:40, 17 September 2022 (UTC)

Host city?
Is 'Host city' really an appropriate column header? Contents range from regions covering about half a country to race tracks. Many of the settlements listed are far from cities (Harrogate, Sallanches, Yvoir, Salo) and many of the events took place far from the named "cities" (eg, by no stretch of the imagination were the recent ITT titles decided in Glasgow).

Any better suggestions? Location? Kevin McE (talk) 10:34, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
