In the other events, the British team has also been given the maximum possible number of spaces, apart from in the men’s junior road race, where they will have five rather than six riders.
In the time trial events all nations are allowed to enter a maximum of two riders. The British team will be announced in the coming weeks.
The World Championships take place in Bergen between September 17-24, with all races featuring steep climbs around the Norwegian fjords.
