"Thousands of cyclists, representing all regions of the world, will vie for the iconic rainbow jersey at this landmark event to be held in Scotland -- the perfect stage for events."
Lappartient said of the event, to be held every pre-summer Olympic year: "I am delighted that the UCI has today awarded the 2023 UCI Cycling World Championships to Glasgow and Scotland."
"The creation and the implementation of this event was one of the commitments I had made during my campaign for UCI presidency, and I am proud to have fulfilled it."

The 2023 gathering is the result of a partnership between the Scottish Government, EventScotland, British Cycling, UK Sport, Glasgow City Council and event owners, the UCI.
The world cycling championships for each discipline take place in different locations each year.
Lappartient, who was elected in 2017, said last year he wanted "the world championships of every discipline to come together in the same location every four years".
