Pidcock heads reduced GB World Championships team

Tom Pidcock will spearhead the British challenge in a smaller than usual team at the Road World Cycling Championships in Rwanda.

There are no riders named for either the women's road race or the men's time trial, while Olympic silver medalist Anna Henderson is the sole British entrant in the women's time-trial.

Pidcock, 26, who finished third in the Vuelta a Espana at the weekend, is joined by Oscar Onley, who was fourth in this summer's Tour de France, in the eight-strong men's road race line-up.

The championships are being held for the first time in Africa and are expected to be the toughest ever.

The men's road race will have 5,475m of elevation over the 267.5km circuit in the Rwandan capital Kigali.

The World Championships, which run from 21 to 28 September, will be broadcast live across BBC TV, iPlayer and the BBC Sport website.
