| Comment | But again it's the *World*, not *European* championships - and blanket prohibition of cycling on motorways is pretty much just a European thing. In the US, for example, cycling on Freeways and Highways is by default permitted and only prohibited on a local and case-by-case basis. Other countries participating do not have roads designated as motorways with separate restrictions in the first place - see the example someone else posted of the Kenyan and Sri Lankan national teams being escorted off motorways because they didn't know they shouldn't be there |
