2025 Road Worlds ***Spoilers***

[Pross]

I’ve put it down as a spoiler thread just in case but just general chat for now. It’s obviously quite a momentous event being the first in Africa and potentially the hardest ever route.

The GB team has been announced and from what I can see there are no women in the elite road race with Henderson being the only selection but only doing the TT. Am I missing something or, if not, why aren’t there any in the elite road race?

Decent looking men’s team with both Onley and Pidcock as potential medalists.

Seems like another insult to women's cycling.

Someone posted the suggestion that security in Rwanda may be an issue for the lack of GB squad when I posted the BBC article on GB selction (yesterday?) on the general 2025 racing thread, especially on the womens side. Maybe a air point?

I see it as putting faith in the next generation.

Who would you select for the senior women's team who isn't in the U23 team? Henderson, Georgi, who else?
