"We have a talented group of riders with a mix of youth and experience at this level,"
"We might not be the favourites on paper, but that frees us to race aggressively and look for opportunities from early on."
"Jai is hungry for the opportunity to represent the Australian colours after his major setback this year when he crashed at the Giro. He was a key player in last year's edition and when he saw the course this year, he was motivated to be in Rwanda. We believe we have a strong team ready to support him,"
AusCycling selected 28 riders across elite, under-23 and junior squads for the road World Championships in Kigali. Neve Bradbury and Jai Hindley lead the elite women's and men's road races respectively. Sarah Gigante is absent after breaking her femur in training, and Ben O'Connor is unavailable while racing La Vuelta a España. The courses include severe climbing totals—5,475 metres for the men and 3,350 metres for the women—shaping an aggressive racing approach. The women's team mixes youth and experience with riders like Amanda Spratt and Brodie Chapman. The men's squad includes Michael Storer, Jay Vine and Luke Plapp supporting Hindley.
