Are riders opting out due to the location being Rwanda hence health protection requirements necessary?

Yeah, but it's a once a year opportunity to represent your country and ride for the people who don't pay your wages....ok, I get it.

Not exactly top drawer talent in the men's squad and the women's situation is bizarre in this day and age.
I get that it's not a course for Brennan but it's telling that there's no representation from UAE, Ineos or Visma.

It's embarrassing. Are they skint? Don't we have any decent women riders anymore? Where's our male tt talent all gone? Do none of the men want to waste their autumn riding for selfish Pidcock?

Don't panic, Zoe Backstedt will come home with a nice rainbow outfit from the Women's U23 ITT, a race that is not on the BBC watch list.
But then the beeb are not showing any U23 or Junior races by the look of things .

Wow, UK squad for World Road Worlds is lacking numbers, especially for women (One TTer and no road race entries!

Similar situation for Denmark - not talking the full women's squad (just two), no TTers at all, and no jnr or u23. They'll be focusing on a string strong Euros instead.

Massive shame that they are not taking a junior team. Noah Lindholm Møller Andersen would have been a strong favourite.
