Road royalty named in long-list squads for road and para-road world championships (britishcycling.org.uk)

 

British Cycling have announced their initial long list of riders for the road races in Glasgow and whilst there are no major surprises on the women's side, for the men, there are perhaps a couple of interesting selection decisions as there is no place for either of the Yates brothers. Mark Cavendish is included, but given his injury at the Tour de France, that's got to be unlikely. Tao Geoghan Hart looks like he is continuing recovery after injury in the Giro and has also not made the cut.

 

The final squad will be announced closer to the event but at most, only 4 of the top 8 GBR riders based on current ranking will make the squad and that could impact :GBR hopes of top 5 world ranking for full squad going to Paris.

So one last farewell at the end. Nobody know how, but our federation succeeded to convince Peter Sagan for one last dance on the road. And he will end his career just like he started, alone... since SVK did qualify only 1 spot for the road race...

I though Sagan was targeting the MTB at Paris? Given Slovakia aren't exactly close to getting a spot through the rankings, his best route may have been to focus on MTB at Glasgow.

At the end :SVK will have 2 riders in the M Road Race.

 

:SVK federation announced today, we apparently received a reallocation (?) and thus Matúš Štoček will help Peter Sagan in the Glasgow roads

Yeah, to the surprise of absolutely nobody....sadly. It is always the same with big events in the UK. Every. Single. Time.

 

In 2025, Rwanda really should deny all British riders entry. Sucks for the riders, but that's too bad, the Brits are keeping a load of Africans out of big events time and time again. Mind you, these are not 'potential refugees' (whatever that would be), but most are well-established pro riders, especially Girmay or Kudus.

 

And as always, UCI does nothing about it. They are as incompetent as one can be in these cases, which of course is already shown by the mere fact the UK got this event in the first place (meaning everybody knew people like the Eritreans were fucked).

Right, some updates: Girmay is reported to have a visa, but won't race because of an injury of last week's Donostia Klasikoa. Berhane has a visa and will race Sunday. Tesfatsion has a visa, but will not race due to a knee injury. Mulubrhan's situation is not yet clear.

    • There are currently no grounds to consider Ghiotto as a favourite for the 5000. He has never won any important 5000 event while dominating the 10 km at the same time. Roest always won the same pattern, with Ghiotto losing all his advantage in the last 2 laps. We will see what the Italian's form will be like now and how tactically he wants to play it. I would also not forget about Eitrem from Norway, who is much younger from these two and has a lot of room for development.
    • Some good news: Matt Gaetz is out from his position as attorney general, basically two months before he'd even start.
    • Maybe small but this is our worst performance at the European Championships since the post-Covid period and that's a fact. Germany and Norway surprised with their form here. However, only in Italy are things like this possible, such as changing the head coach of the team with less than two years to go before the home games...
    • In my opinion we can lose to Argentina, if it's 0-1 in a moment. This Davis Cup format is a lottery, especially with the shortened doubles. It's no coincidence that all the favorites can/will can be eliminated in the quarter-finals. The second thing is that Argentina has a very solid team: 2 players in the top 30 + a strong doubles. If you sure to will win with them, you would have to have 2 Sinners in great shape.
    • Both Edin and Retornaz at 6-3 just like rank 2 and 3. Just very small margins on h2h and DSC
    • Godun has been training in Italy and Hungary for over 2 years. It's strange that she didn't take a Hungarian passport. Our predecures are so long that it probably wouldn't make sense.
    • Our worst European Men's Championship in this cycle: no promotion to the 1/2. Retronaz has been in poor form since the beginning of the season. The change of the head coach in the Italian team last spring may have had an impact. Unfortunately, the closer to the games, the worse it gets for us and it should be better because we are the organizers.
    • Sport climbing qualification system: https://images.ifsc-climbing.org/ifsc/image/private/t_q_good/prd/a0ga7v4gwmamb3gxouni.pdf
    • Daniel Huber picked up a kee injury during training at Lillehammer.   Piotr Żyła will skip the season opener because of a knee injury too.
    • Agree with you on this. The only missed category was Long Track Speed Skating where Cornelius Kersten and Ellia Smeding have done a good job getting us involved in this event again after many years absence. He won a Bronze medal at 2023 worlds but both are realistically fringe contenders and main goal is to grow the sport here.   As for our general chances by British standards we tend to do well at the various world championships before a Winter Olympics to raise hopes and then several dont quite deliver when its time. Would prefer the reverse to happen where we save our best for 2026 and help boost our Winter sports growth.
