It's fair to say the Great Britain team is not at full strength heading into Sunday's road race at the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:World Championships in Richmond, Virginia.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Chris Froome is still recovering from a broken navicular, which forced him to abandon the Vuelta a Espana earlier this month, while ☂Mark Cavendish has been ruled out after undergoing shoulder surge꧒ry in the aftermath of a Tour of Britain crash. Add to that list of absentees the name of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Geraint Thomas, who has had a long and exerting🌱 season and said he didn't feel physically up to the Wo꧋rlds. 

That has caused somewhat of a rethink in the British camp, who as yet don't have a set plan of attack revolving around a certain rider. 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Steve Cummings, who was 14th in Wednesday's individual time trial, is one of th🎉e riders in the nine-man team and comes into the road race on the back of one of his moꦇst successful seasons, the zenith of which came with his solo stage win at the Tour de France. 

Alongside Cummings, Great Britain's team comprises Ian Stannard, Ben Swift, Andy ౠFenn, Luke Rowe, Scott Thwaites, Alex Dowsett, and Adam Yates. The team as yet has not announced a replacement for Cavendish, despite Adam Blythe being linked with a call-up.

"The team is what the team is - I think it's still strong. We're not the favourites but we have some riders who can do well," Cummings says in this video interview with Cyclingnews.

"I don't think we have an out-and-out favourite. We haven't discussed it yet. If someone puts their hand up and says they're really in good shape then maybe we can help that rider, but t✅here's a lot of us who are not favourites but can spring as a surprise. So we'll take our opportunities as individuals - but ride as a team at the same time."
