THE OFFICIAL MASS PARTICIPATION CYCLING EVENT OF DOHA 2016

The Ride of Champions (#ROCQATAR16) gives the chance for every participant to ride the official Road World Championships course finish loop and cross the finish line for their own ‘champion moment’. For the local community, this is the only world championship event to be held in Qatar, where the public can physically participate on the same field of play (course) as the pros on the same day. This is not an event that is spectator only. You can be a part of it. The Race Starts Here for EVERYONE !For GCC and international road cycling enthusiasts, the #ROCQATAR16 is the way to turn a trip to Qatar for UCI RWC Doha 2016 into a truly unique experience. Fans can watch the RWC on TV but the Ride of Champions is something you can’t do on TV, you got to be here to ride.After the event, participants can stay in The Pearl Qatar, to watch the women’s elite event on the big screen in the Fan Zone and then in person as they enter the finishing loop and pass by 7 times before a new world champion is crowned !
