Hosts: Glasgow and across Scotland Dates: 3-13 August
Coverage: Watch live across BBC TV and iPlayer, with 200 hours of live streams on the BBC’s digital platforms

Great Britain continued their excellent start to the Cycling World Championships in Glasgow, winning four gold and five silver medals on day two.

All nine medals were won by Para-cyclists, including Jody Cundy who clinched a 14th consecutive world title in the men’s C4 1km time trial.

There were British one-twos in the men’s C3 1km time trial, the men’s B 1km time trial and women’s B individual pursuit.

Britain’s medal total now stands at 14.

Over the opening two days GB have won six golds, six silvers and two bronzes.

Neil Fachie and Matthew Rotherham won Britain’s first gold of the day, finishing 0.042 seconds ahead of team-mates James Ball and Steffan Lloyd in the men’s B 1km time trial.

Sophie Unwin and Jenny Holl, who won the B 1km time trial on day one, took gold in day two’s penultimate event, defeating British Paralympic champion Lora Fachie and pilot Corrine Hall in the B individual pursuit final.

In the C3 1km time trial, British defending champion Jaco van Gass won gold by finishing 0.236 seconds ahead of compatriot Fin Graham.

GB’s Daphne Schrager won silver in the women’s C2 individual pursuit and Frances Brown claimed second in the women’s C1 500m time trial.

Epic start for hosts in evening session

There was seemingly a medal won in every event in the first half of Friday’s evening session as Great Britain dominated the Para-cycling schedule.

The gold rush was triggered by Cundy and Fachie, with the two Britons boasting 40 world titles between them.

Cundy, 44, finished over a second ahead of Australia’s Michael Shippley in the C4 1km time trial.

The eight-time Paralympic champion in cycling and swimming now has 23 world titles across both sports.

In the men’s B time trial, Fachie and pilot Rotherham took gold after a tense final 750 metres, delivering Fachie his 17th world title.

The pair, who won the Commonwealth title for Scotland together in 2022, were off the pace with a lap to go but managed to edge ahead of compatriots Ball and Lloyd who took silver.

Britain’s Sophie Capewell, who won silver in the team sprint on Thursday, finished fourth in the women’s elite 500m time trial – 0.122 seconds off a bronze medal.

GB also missed out on bronze in the men’s elite team sprint, narrowly losing out to France.

GB’s Atherton through in downhill

Meanwhile, in the women’s mountain bike downhill, GB’s five-time world champion Rachel Atherton safely qualified a day after dislocating her shoulder.

Atherton injured her shoulder after a fall during a practice run on Thursday and posted the 31st fastest time on Friday.

With fewer than 40 entrants, any rider who set a time in qualifying advanced to Saturday’s final.

Tahnee Seagrave posted the second-fastest time with fellow Britons Harriet Harnden, Stacey Fisher, Anna-Louise Ferguson and Mikayla Parton also posting top 20 times.

In the men’s mountain bike downhill qualifying, GB’s Bernard Kerr posted the third-fastest time with team-mates Charlie Hatton and Danny Hart also posting top 10 runs.

Earlier on Friday, Great Britain, led by local favourite Katie Archibald, were fastest in qualifying for the women’s team pursuit.
