From September 17 to 24 in Bergen (Norway) will be held the World Cycling Championships 2017. Here's how to follow them live streaming on smartphones and computers
With the Vuelta over, one of the last big events of the 2017 cycling season is the World Championships. This year the race will be held in Norway in the city of Bergen, in a circuit of just over 19 kilometers to be repeated 12 times. The World Championship will begin on September 17 with the time trial dedicated to the teams and will conclude on September 24 with the men's national team road race. The 2017 Cycling World Championships can be followed in live streaming on Eurosport (thanks to SkyGo and Premium Play platforms) and on Rai Play.
As mentioned, the World Championships will be held in Bergen on a circuit of just over 19 kilometers. The race is favorable above all to the sprinters: the only difficulties are a false flat of 500 meters at the beginning and a mountain of a kilometer and a half with an average gradient of 6,4% at little more than 10 kilometers from the arrival. Once past the climb, there will be downhill and flat until the end. The arrival in sprint seems almost taken for granted, unless some national team takes advantage of the intensity of the wind to set some traps and blow the bank.
And Italy is ready to exploit just these opportunities. The national team led by Davide Cassani doesn't have any sprinters who could win the bunch sprints (only Trentin and Viviani would have limited chances), but it's composed by riders able to exploit indecisions and mistakes of the opponents. Probably there won't be Vincenzo Nibali: the rider has just arrived second at the Vuelta of Spain, but the circuit doesn't suit his characteristics.
