Road World Championships 2021: Elite women’s road race start list

The UCI World Championships 2021's penultimate race is the women's elite road race taking place in the Belgian region of Flanders on Saturday, September 25.

But for those wanting to pull on the rainbow bands the riders will have to complete to 144km over 2750 metres of ascending over five laps of the finishing circuit around the town of Leuven.

Unsurprisingly the Netherlands are the favourites for the race victory with former winners Annemiek van Vleuten, Marianne Vos, Chantal van den Broek-Blaak and reigning champion Anna van der Breggen all set to ride.

Van der Breggen does have doubts about her condition though as the Dutch star looks to race the road race as her last competition before retiring. Alongside her is Demi Vollering and Amy Pieters. 

The host nation of Belgium has a different approach to the race with one stand-out leader of Lotte Kopecky being the expected main focus.

Italy are in the same sort of spot as Belgium but Elisa Longo-Borghini could see support from the likes of Marta Cavalli after she has shown excellent form this season.

The British camp will most likely be looking at Lizzie Deignan again but the Barnes sisters are always a good bet too.
