The event, which will be organised by the Czech Sport Association for Intellectually Disabled (ČSMPS), is due take place from June 12 until 16. 

The ČSMPS are long-time supporters of events organised by Inas - the International Sports Federation for Persons with Intellectual Disability.

They have previoulsy hosted the 2009 Global Games, 2013 World Athletics Championships, 2013 World Tennis Championships and the 2014 European Table Tennis Championships.

The event will be held in conjunction with the Czech National Cycling Championships at the picturesque Racice Sportcentrum, providing an opportunity for both international and national riders to be part of a three-day festival of cycling.

Built on the site of a quarry, approximately 40 kilometres north of Czech capital Prague, the lake is encircled by a 5km road with the whole area covering some 73 hectares.

The venue has played host to a large number of major sporting events, including the 2015 European Canoe and Para-Canoe Sprint Championships and in 2017 the European Rowing Championships will be staged.

The event returns to Racice following the successful hosting of the same event in 2014.

The Netherlands’ Martijn Roest will be looking for a repeat of 2014 where he took all three titles.

Home favourite Dalibor Havelka will be looking to go one better though and return to the form he showed in the 2014 Championships where he picked up a silver medal in the individual time trial.

Stiff competition is likely to also come from France’s Jeremy Pereira, the silver medallist in last year's Global Games time trial and gold in the team time trial.

In the women’s events, the title is likely to be contested by the strong Polish team.

Cycling for athletes with an intellectual disability is growing with entries in to last year’s Global Games coming from three continents.

“We are proud to bring the INAS World Cycling Championships back to Racice," Vladimir Slavik, Czech Cycling director and head of the Local Organising Committee, said.

"The athletes have been training hard since last year’s Global Games and we hope to be able to build on the success we had here in 2014.

"Hosting the event in conjunction with the Czech National Cycling Championships enables us to inspire the international Czech cyclists of the future and showcase the successful programme we have here.”
