World track champion Ethan Hayter will chase another rainbow jersey when he spearheads Great Britain’s 26-strong team at this month’s Road World Championships in Wollongong, Australia.

Hayter, who won world omnium gold last October, claimed last month’s Tour of Poland on the road and will contest the road race and the time trial.

The 23-year-old will be joined by Fred Wright, who has made three Grand Tour stage podium finishes this season, while Pfeiffer Georgi and Anna Henderson headline the women’s team.

They will be joined by Anna Shackley and Lizzie Holden, as well as Elynor Backstedt and GB debutant Alice Towers.

In the elite men’s, Hayter’s Ineos Grenadiers team-mates Ben Turner, Ben Swift, Ben Tulett and Luke Rowe are also set to compete, alongside Jake Stewart and Connor Swift.

The championships take place from 18-25 September.
