The Road World Championship Doha 2016 Organising Committee unveiled a young Arabian hare as the mascot for the event, which will be held later this year.
The hare was chosen as the official mascot of the Doha 2016 as it represents many of the values that the organisers want to portray at the UCI Road World Championships, Doha 2016.
“He is a brave, independent, gentle young hare who represents the Qatari values of peace, hope and community,” a statement released yesterday said.
“He is proud of his country, loves his extended family and respects all other creatures who share his land.
“He captures the spirit of the event in his optimism, determination, generosity and exuberance.
“His passion for cycling and playful nature makes him an ideal symbol for Qatar’s historic role in hosting the UCI Road World Championships, Doha 2016.”
