British Cycling has named its under-23 and junior squads for the 2011 European Road Race Championships, which take place in Offida, Italy, over July 14-17.
The under-23 men's road race team is particularly strong and should put in a good performance on the 179.4km route on Sunday, July 17.
"The strength of talent we currently have within the under-23 male riders means we've been able to select a strong squad for the U23 Men's Road Race and Time Trial," commented GB performance manager Shane Sutton.
"Every rider on the team has produced good results on the road both domestically and abroad this year.
"From a junior point of view, the Olympic Development Programme for the Endurance riders this year has had a track focus and so we're only sending a small team to the road event so as to not compromise the performance at the European Track Championships which fall a couple of weeks later."
