British Cycling named its 55-rider team for the upcoming UCI Road World Championships and Para-cycling World Championships, with Olympic MTB champion Tom Pidcock leading the men's team for the road race, which takes place on September 29 in Zürich, Switzerland.

Pidcock is one of the top contenders for the elite men's road race and will be backed up by a strong contingent of WorldTour riders including Adam and Simon Yates, Tour of Britain winner Stevie Williams, British time trial champion Josh Tarling - the country's main contender for the men's time trial - as well as Oscar Onley, Mark Donovan, James Knox, and Jake Stewart.
