Dowsett holds British Worlds chances after Froome drops out

Alex Dowsett will ride as Great Britain’s only representative in tomorrow’s Worlds time trial after Chris Froome pulled out of the event to concentrate on the road race. Dowsett, who rode as part of Sky’s team time trial squad, will also compete in Sunday’s road race but has set his sights on a top ten finish in Wednesday’s individual test.
