How to Qualify

FINISH IN THE TOP 25% TO RIDE

This is your chance to compete on the global stage for the ultimate title.

At Worlds, the champions in each age group are awarded the coveted rainbow jersey.

To punch your ticket to Gran Fondo Worlds, you must finish in the top 25% of your age group in a UCI Gran Fondo World Series event.

It’s a series designed with high level competition for masters and amateurs.

Qualifying is not as hard as you think so give it a go and represent your country in 2025!

The 2025 UCI calendar is yet to be announced and will include more opportunities to qualify across the globe. The calendar is set to be announced later this year.
