Australia may be one of the less high-profile teams for the elite men's events in the upcoming UCI Road World Championships - but as became very evident once again last year, their rivals rule them out at their peril, while the squad themselves are confident of an optimum performance.
Last year, Australia enjoyed an excellent Road World Championships, securing silver with Neve Bradbury in the women's U23 road race category, gold in the mixed team time trial event, and again in the elite women's time trial with Grace Brown. Ben O'Connor rounded out the week with a notably surprising silver medal in the elite men’s road race.
