The 26-year-old Olympic champion in mountain biking will be supported by Oscar Onley, who shot to attention with a fourth place finish in this year's Tour de France.

The elite men's road race is set to be one of the hardest ever in the championships with a route of 267km featuring more than 5,000 metres of climbing.
