Tom Pidcock, Oscar Onley, and Cat Ferguson lead GB medal charge at cycling World Championships
GB team named for hardest-ever Road World Championships
- British cycling will send a strong contingent to the Road World Championships in Kigali, Rwanda, from 21-28 September, led by recent Vuelta a España third-place finisher Tom Pidcock.
- The championships are expected to be the hardest in history due to high altitude and significant climbing, with the men's elite road race featuring 5,400m of elevation gain.
- Double junior world champion Cat Ferguson will lead the British squad in the newly introduced under-23 category, having recently achieved her first World Tour stage win.
- Zoe Backstedt, a former junior world champion and current European under-23 time trial champion, is a strong medal contender in the under-23 time trial.
- Due to logistical and financial challenges, only one British woman, Anna Henderson, will compete in the elite time trial, marking the first time in over 30 years no British women will race in the elite road race.
