The start list of riders competing at the 2018 Road World Championships team time trial in Innsbruck-Tirol has been annoucned.
This will be the last incarnation of the team time trial with trade teams at the Worlds, with the UCI set to change the format for the 2019 World Championships in Yorkshire. The new format is yet to be confirmed, with the UCI saying it is currently “examining alternative options” that will see National Federations compete.
>>> Canyon-SRAM win UCI Road World Championships women’s team time trial
>>> Quick-Step Floors defeat Sunweb to win UCI Road World Championships men’s team time trial
The current format has existed since 2012, with the team time trial contested by nations ending in 1994. Since trade teams began competing, Quick-Step have been the most successful team with three gold medals, while BMC Racing have taken two.

Both of those teams are confirmed to compete this year, along with defending champions Team Sunweb.
Team Sky will also compete in the final edition of the team time trial and will look to take a first gold medal after some strong performances this year at the Critérium du Dauphiné and at the Tour de France team time trials. Mitchelton-Scott will also be looking to claim a maiden gold medal, having taken silver twice in 2013 and 2014.
Those teams will be joined by fellow WorldTour squads Ag2r La Mondiale, Astana, Bora-Hansgrohe, Movistar Team, Katusha-Alpecin, Trek Segafredo and LottoNL-Jumbo.
Five Austria based Continental teams are also confirmed starters, including Tirol Cycling Team, Hrinkow Advarics Cycleang Team and Team Felbermayr-Simplon Wels.
The men’s course for the team time trial will consist of 62km from the start in Ötztal to the finish in Innsbruck. The women’s course will also finish in Innsbruck and consist of 53.8km, with both courses taking on some tough climbing sections en route to the finish.
