A spokesperson for Get Ready Glasgow, said : "The free to view road race events during the 2023 UCI Cycling World Championships will be a real highlight of our sporting calendar with stars from across the continent competing. The great road races of France, Spain and Italy all showcase their cities and countryside to massive audiences, and these events will do the same for Glasgow and our neighbours.
“They will have an impact on movement around the city centre and west end, on competition days, and on the days before, as restrictions and closures come into effect.
“Traffic management measures and road closures are needed to build the road courses and facilitate the safe delivery of the races for participants, spectators and business as usual operations, in the city.
“Similar to previous years when the city has hosted comparable events, we will tell our businesses and residents everything they need to know and how they can plan ahead for event time, via the Get Ready Glasgow campaign. The campaign uses a variety of means to tell people how we will keep the city open for business and moving during the event.
“We are working over the next few months to make sure our businesses and residents are prepared, able to get involved, and enjoy our city’s time at the centre of the sporting world, in August.”
