Great Britain's team, spearheaded by Tom Pidcock, Oscar Onley, and Anna Henderson, will compete at the World Championships. Notably, there is no elite female representation in the road race event.
Callum Thornley, the U23 men's rider, will be the sole representative for Great Britain in the road race at the upcoming Road World Championships in Rwanda. Thornley is expected to face a tough challenge, but he is ready to push himself to the limits.
In the elite category, Great Britain will be led by Tom Pidcock and Oscar Onley, who have recently finished third at the Vuelta a España and fourth at the Tour de France, respectively. Anna Henderson, the only elite woman representing Great Britain, will participate in the time trial only.
Anna Henderson, a medal favourite for Sunday's time trial, will be joined by a strong U23 and junior women's team. Zoe Bäckstedt, the U23 time trial representative and winner of the U23 time trial, will be a top contender for the rainbow jersey. Erin Boothman and Arabella Blackburn will lead the women's selection in the junior road races and time trials.
The U23 women's team also includes Felity Wilson-Haffenden, but the full official list of all British U23 women participants has not been explicitly detailed. The British U23 women's team will provide development opportunities for younger riders, including Cat Ferguson, the junior world champion, who will be a top favourite for the U23 women's road race.
The men's road race in Kigali will be climb-filled, and Joe Blackmore, Mark Donovan, Oliver Knight, James Knox, Bjorn Koerdt, and Fred Wright will represent Great Britain. The event is set to be a challenging one, but these elite riders are ready to rise to the occasion.
Great Britain will not compete in the mixed relay TTT. Despite this, the team is optimistic about their chances and is looking forward to showcasing their skills on the international stage. The Road World Championships in Rwanda promise to be an exciting event, with Great Britain's riders ready to give their all.
