It’s day eight of the UCI Cycling World Championships being held in Scotland with races taking place across the country from Glasgow Green to Dumfries.
The Championships are heading into their final few days, with Glasgow city centre to be taken over with road race action once again this weekend.
Here is a rundown of everything that’s happening today:

Trials - Glasgow Green
Semi finals will be taking place at Glasgow Green today for the Junior Men and Women Elite Open Trials.
Trials involve riders testing their agility over purpose built obstacles - penalties are handed out for mistakes like falling or balancing themselves with their arms.
BMX Freestyle Flatland - Glasgow Green
Also at Glasgow Green today will be the Men’s Elite Qualification round, taking place at 15:00.
In contrast to the obstacle course setup of the trials, Freestyle Flatland gives cyclists a blank canvas to be creative with their bikes, performing their own routines.
