The men’s part will feature Tom Pidcock, the reigning Tokyo Olympic mountain biking winner, as well as this year’s scoring champion and co-holder of the historic record in the number of stage triumphs at the Tour de France, Mark Cavendish.

The Isle of Man is also the world champion ten years ago from Copenhagen and the silver from Doha 2016. He only had to bow there before Peter Sagan.

Luke Rowe, Fred Wright, Jake Stewart, Connor Swift, Ben Swift and Ethan Hayter complete the British line-up at one of the highlights of the season.

In the women’s elite competition, the 2015 world champion from Richmond and the silver medalist from the London 2012 Olympics will present Lizzie Deignan.

The team leader is followed by Anna Shackley, Alice Barnes, Anna Henderson, Pfeiffer Georgio and Joss Lowden.

“We are looking forward to the world championship this year, because we have several real medal contenders in the team. And in several categories, “said Stephen Park, one of the directors of British cycling for performance sports.

“Personally, I’m looking forward to Lizzie and Mark turning their experience and form into a good result.

We want to come home with medals, including the under-23 and junior categories, “Park added on cyclingnews.com.

The World Road Cycling Championships will take place from 19 to 26 September in Flanders, Belgium.

Before the world championship, Sagan will present himself at the Around Slovakia event, which will start on Wednesday in Košice.
