organization

The grounds of the Dornbirner Messe - venue for the indoor cycling world championships 2017

The World Cycling Federation (UCI) has been organizing indoor cycling world championships since 1956 - cycling world championships since 1930.

In 2017 the World Championships took place in Austria for the eighth time. Vienna has been the venue four times (1962, 1967, 1973, 1983) and Vorarlberg has hosted three times so far (1990 Bregenz ; 2002, 2008 Dornbirn). In November 2017, as in 2002 and 2008 , the competitions were held on the grounds of Messe Dornbirn .
Overall responsibility for the organization of this World Cup was Dieter Heidegger. A budget of around 450,000 euros was available for the World Cup and the implementation was supported by around 400 voluntary helpers.

Bike ball

A men's team competition was held here.

mode

The tournament consists of two groups: Group A with the six strongest nations from the previous year and Group B with seven weaker teams.

In both groups there was a round in which everyone played against everyone once. In the intermediate round of the group A teams, the team placed second in the preliminary round meets the fifth placed and the third placed fourth. The two winners of this intermediate round and the winner of the preliminary round qualify for the semi-finals.
In the first semi-final, the winner of the preliminary round meets the winner from the game between the second and fifth place. The loser of this game must play in a second semi-final against the winner from the game between the third and fourth placed. The two winners from the semi-finals ultimately play the world champion in the final. The winner of group B finally competes against the sixth of the table in group A for promotion or to remain in group A.

Group A

In group A, six teams compete against each other for the title of world champion. The two Austrians as defending champions have already achieved four World Cup titles in a row in previous years.
