RECUMBENT WORLD SERIES
The Recumbent World Series is an international circuit organized by the Recumbent World Tour Alliance.
The circuit consists of prestigious amateur races that combine a passion for cycling with the values of inclusion and innovation: every athlete, regardless of age, gender, or ability, has the opportunity to fully develop their potential. The RWS promotes equal opportunities, diversity among participants, and the use of innovative technologies within the world of cycling.
The RWS was created to connect recumbent cycling communities from around the globe, building a network of events designed to promote and spread recumbent cycling. At each stage, the World Series brings together sport, inclusion, and passion, transforming every race into a celebration of the freedom to cycle in a different way.
The circuit aims to discover and reward new talent, serving as a springboard for those who aspire to international recognition within the recumbent cycling landscape.
Each stage of the circuit represents an opportunity to showcase local regions, integrating sport, tourism, and local culture.
The RWS aims to:
- Promote recumbent cycling as a sport accessible to everyone;
- Develop recumbent cycling competitions into a globally recognized discipline;
- Encourage sports tourism through high-quality events;
- Build an international community of athletes and teams;
- Support the development of emerging talent;
