The UCI Road World Championships are set to take place this year, and Australia is preparing for a strong showing. The Australian lineup includes Callum Scotson, who is currently participating in the Vuelta, which could benefit him in the high altitude at Kigali.

Scotson, who missed last year's event due to sickness, expressed his excitement about the strong Australian team. "Australia had a successful performance in the Road World Championships last year, securing silver, gold, and gold in various categories," he said.

One of the co-leaders for the elite men's event is expected to be Jai Hindley. Hindley, who took 18th place in the elite men's event last year, agreed with Scotson that Australia is fielding a powerful squad. Scotson also mentioned that Ben O'Connor's silver medal in the elite men's road race last year shows that anything can happen if one arrives with good form, but unfortunately, O'Connor will not be participating in this year's race.

The possible leader of the Australian team for the road race is Michael Matthews. Luke Plapp and Jay Vine, on the other hand, are aiming for top results in the time trial.

Scotson believes that under-the-radar squads can impact the unpredictable World Championships. He expressed his support for his leaders during the race, and he is looking forward to contributing to the team's success.

The Rwanda elite men's course for this year's event features 5,475 meters of vertical climbing, making it a challenging course for even the most experienced cyclists. Australia will field an eight-man elite squad for the time trial and road race.

Callum Scotson is part of the Australian lineup for this year's event, and he is eager to make up for the opportunity he missed last year. With a personal best of a fifth place in the U23 Time Trial in the 2017 Elite World Championships, Scotson is a valuable asset to the team.

The UCI Road World Championships are shaping up to be an exciting event, and with a strong Australian team in the mix, it promises to be a nail-biting competition. Fans can look forward to cheering on their favourite cyclists as they battle it out for the coveted titles.
