Great Britain will be led by Tom Pidcock, Oscar Onley and Anna Henderson at the Road World Championships in Rwanda, but will not enter a team in the elite women’s road race.
Team GB are fielding selections in almost every category, but will not be represented in either the elite women’s road race or the elite or U23 men’s time trials.
In the men’s road race, Pidcock and Onley come fresh from their respective third at the Vuelta a España and fourth at the Tour de France, and will be among the contenders on the tough, climb-filled course in Kigali.
However, GB are sending full teams in many of the other age categories, with serious medal hopes, particularly in the newly-separated U23 women’s category, where junior world champion Cat Ferguson will be a top favourite for the road race, whilst Zoe Bäckstedt could take home the rainbow jersey in the time trial.
Despite the UCI ruling this year that WorldTour and ProTeam riders could no longer race in the men’s U23 categories at Worlds, this doesn’t apply to the women’s races – run separately for the first time in 2025 – so many Women’s WorldTour riders will be in action.
In the junior road races and time trials, junior world TT champion Dylan Sage and Liège-Bastogne-Liège Juniors winner Harry Hudson lead the men’s selection, whilst the women will be led by Erin Boothman and Arabella Blackburn.
