Si svolgeranno sulle strade spagnole di Ponferrada (provincia di Castilla y Léon) tutte le prove dei Campionati Mondiali di Ciclismo 2014. La prima prova sarà come sempre la cronosquadre, alla quale parteciperanno le migliori formazioni UCI, che si disputerà domenica 21 settembre.
L’albo d’oro finora vede i successi della Omega Pharma-Quick Step, squadra campione sia nel 2012 (anno in cui è stata reintrodotta questa disciplina) sia nel 2013 e anche quest’anno tra le favorite insieme a BMC Racing Team, Orica Green Edge, Team Sky e Movistar.
Il percorso prevede una distanza di 57,10 km ed è piuttosto impegnativo, poiché presenta un’asperità nel finale con pendenza massima del 10%.
