Great Britain have yet to announce their squad for the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:UCI Road World Championships in Zürich but a number of riders have confirmed that they’re h🌱oping to put on the national team kit later this mont𝓡h.

The Worlds kick off in ju𝓡st over a fortni൩ght with the elite individual time trial events held on Sunday 22 September, before the road races take place across the following weekend.

A 273.9km-long road ra꧂ce route, that has the most climbing metres since Imola in 2020, awaits the riders in Switzerland - with that likely to be reflected in the startlist, too.

In the middle of his most successful season to date, Israel-Premier Tech’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Stevie Williams was one rider to stake his claim for a spot in the squad when he spoke to Cyclingnews at the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour of Britain.

Williams, who claimed back-to-back victories on stage two♏ and three, said: “Yeah [it’s definitely on my radar], it’s not confirmed, but hopefully, selection for Worlds will be granted so I can go to Zürich to either try to be competitive and race the final or play a support role for one of our leaders.”

The current Tour of Britain leader admitted that he’s in a purple patch at the🐠 moment, putting it down to a strong end to 2023 and competing at another Grand Tour this season.

“The 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour de France was big for me, getting my second coꦫnꦿsecutive Grand Tour year in, it was a massive boost. To get two three-week races in over two years has boosted my level,” Williams admitted.

The Welshman, who won a stage and the overall at the Tour Down Under before clinching La Flèche Wallonne in the spring, has alre🔯ady featured in British colours this year at the Paris Olympics. 

Finishing 31st, he described it as &ldquo🐻;a great race and a real privilege to do for Great Britain.”

Tom Pidcock (Ine🐼os Grenadiers) was one of Williams’ teammates in Paris, and while successfully defending his mountain bike title, could only muster 13th in the road race. 

He𓆉 confirmed that the World Cha🌟mpionships were part of his plan for the remainder of 2024, falling in between the Canadian one-day races and the Italian Classics.

Meanwhile, Oscar Onley (DSM-Firmenich PostNL) is hoping to make his ꦰWorld Championships debut this month after a bright year with the Dutch WorldTour team.

Despite two collarbone breaks, the Scotsman has still managed to c⭕laim a Tour Down Under stage, completing his first Tour de France and a br🥂ight showing at the Tour of Britain this week too.

Onley admitted: 🗹“I’m quite confident that I’ll be going to Worlds, that’s the next target after this. A good week of racing here ꩲshould set me up well.”

For the individual time trial, a 46.1km course in and around Zürich🥂, Ethan Hayter is a rider keen to take one of Great Britain’s two spots in the event.

“I think I’m going to do the time trial Worlds, I’m still waiting, it’s a bit like the Olympics I just need to decide if I’m going to do it or not,” the Ineos Grenadiers quickman revealed to Cyclingnews.

Hayter, who departs the British WorldTour team for Soudal-QuickStep in 2025, added: &ldqu෴o;I was in the ballpark in Australia a couple of years ago, I’ve had a few issues with my TT bike this year and equipment and sponsor changes so I need to get back to it.&rdquo꧙;

Josh Tarling, last year’s bronze medallist in the event, abandoned the Vuelta a España on stage 9 due to the i🦂mpacts of an earlier crash so it remains to be seen if the Brit is ready to compete in Switzerland.
