Jalabert explains his Worlds selection

French national team coach Laurent Jalabert, who took part in the Ironman World Championship 70.3 last week-end in Las Vegas, Nevada, has explained his choice of riders for the upcoming cycling Worlds to L'Equipe. Jalabert was able to nominate a total of nine riders for the road race - which hasn't happened since 2008 - and he took advantage of the numbers to create a team of puncheurs in full support of sole leader Thomas Voeckler (Europcar).
