A total of thirteen events were held, consisting of six road races, six individual time trials and a team time trial mixed relay (all of them finishing in Zürich in front of Sechseläutenplatz).
The event was overshadowed by a fatality in competition, as 18-year-old Swiss rider Muriel Furrer died from injuries sustained in a race crash during the junior women's road race.[3] The event was continued at the express request of Muriel Furrer's parents and family, with a series of tributes and memorials.
Tadej Pogačar completed the rare Triple Crown of Cycling, winning the Giro d'Italia and the Tour de France before winning the Men's Road Race, and was only the third cyclist to achieve it following Eddy Merckx in 1974 and Stephen Roche in 1987.
