The Canadian Cycling Association has announced that Quebec City has put forward Canada’s only bid to host the 2015 UCI Road World Cycling Championships. With the official Nov. 7 deadline passed, the CCA will now work exclusively with the UCI on the necessary candidature file to meet the specific deadlines set out in the bid process.

The successful applicant will be announced by the UCI during the 2011 World Championships in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Canada hosted the UCI Road World Championships twice in history, when Hamilton, Ont. held it in 2003 and Montreal in 1974, as a test event for the 1976 Olympics.

In 2010, Canada successfully hosted two UCI World Championships: the UCI Para-cycling World Championships in Baie-Comeau, Que. and the UCI Mountain Bike and Trial World Championships in Mont-Sainte-Anne, Que.
