Tour de France winner Chris Froome, 2011 World Champion Mark Cavendish and 2014 Women's World Cup winner Lizzie Armitstead are among the names on the long list announced by British Cycling for the 2015 UCI Road World Championships in Richmond, USA, over September 19-27.
Froome and Cavendish are among the 13 elite male riders named that will fill the nine road race and two time trial places that Britain has qualified for the 2015 Worlds. It's a strong list of riders that rivals anything any other nation could offer, not least due to the presence of Tour winner Froome - who is currently contesting the Vuelta a España in Spain.
