Promising race by Dowsett. Don’t follow much cycling outside major events. Do GB have their strongest riders at these champs?

 

 

Dowsett’s our best TT specialist outside of Thomas (who hasn’t really prepared) & Froome, off sick.

Quotas for ...

 

This is only quota if the countries qualify at least one athlete in Road Racing... from what i read on the official document, this doesn't make any sense for me.

So looking at the nation ranking France may have to give up its quota if they move up to 14th. At that ranking they would only get 1 athlete quota, but have two time trial quotas (15th place will have to give their quota up to fulfill the continental obligations). That would mean the quota obtained at the World Champs will be reallocated to Great Britain.

 

Or France could fill the 2nd time trial spot with someone already entered in track cycling.

Really? I guess technically it says that it goes to NOCs which have qualified to the road race (which France has fulfilled), but I think they also meant that they need enough places.

 

France does have eligible track athletes that could compete in the time trial, but they do have strict eligibility criteria.

You should expect that if you organize WCh in England in September. It's like someone would be suprised because of sun during WCh in Qatar
