British Cycling has today announced the long-list of riders from which the final team will be selected to represent GB at the 2012 UCI Road World Championships taking place in Limburg, The Netherlands from 15-23 September.
Performance Director Dave Brailsford said: “Once again we find ourselves in a very fortunate position of having a strong pool of riders across the board from which we can select the final team nearer the time. Brad has opted out of riding the Time Trial at the Worlds, this year’s focus for him has been fully on the Tour de France and the Olympics, so to expect him to hold form going into the Worlds is a big ask.”
