Tyler Farrar – Rider
It is a huge honour to line up for the U.S. at a World Championship in
America. That’s really a once in a lifetime opportunity. I am so happy
to have made the team and we will be looking to put on a good show for
the home fans.

Reinardt Janse van Rensburg – Rider
The World Championships is always a fantastic spectacle and a
highlight of the season. I am looking forward to worlds in Richmond
and I think the course suits our South African team well. We will be
looking to a top result and I think we have a great chance of doing
something special.
Edvald Boasson Hagen – Rider
It’s a pretty hard course but you can’t count out the sprinters. In
Kristoff we have a really good contender for the win. I will look to
do a good job for him but the possibility could arise where I get to
take my own chance.
