This Sunday, September 11, will see the World Cycling Championships for Journalists being held in the Republic of San Marino, one of Europe's smallest countries. The Championships will be run for Under 50s, Over 50s, Consultants, and Women's categories on a testing circuit of 6.6 km to be covered six times (39.6 km) for Over 50s and Women and nine times (59.4 km) for Under 50s and Consultants. The winner of each press category is awarded a special rainbow jersey on a green background, as green is the colour of accreditation at the Tour de France, and many other races.
