Rescheduled Majka Gran Fondo no longer part of 2024 UCI Gran Fondo World Series

The Polish qualifier for the UCI Gran Fondo World Championships, originally slated for May 4-5 in Dobczyce and Myslenice, near Krakow, can no longer be part of this year’s UCI Gran Fondo World Series due to a change in dates. The Majka Gran Fondo’s date change is due to the fact that its key host, Rafal Majka, will be riding the Giro d’Italia in early May to support his UAE Team Emirates teammate Tadej Pogačar. Without Majka’s presence at the Polish event, the Gran Fondo must be rescheduled for a month later in the season. Unfortuantely, the new date clashes with two other European UCI Gran Fondo World Series events, meaning it cannot be a UCI qualifier this year.

The Polish event will return to the UCI Gran Fondo World Series in 2025.
