There are some teams and riders that everyone is squarely looking to as key favourites at the women's elite/U23 road race on Sunday at the UCI Road World Championships and the Australians aren't necessarily among them, but that may not be a bad thing for the green and gold clad squad.
The team is content for it to be other riders, like Belgian favourite Lotte Kopecky and pretty much the entire Dutch team, that have a target on their back across the 154.1km race on Sunday, which includes 2,229m of vertical ascent and six laps of a brutally technical 14.3km city circuit.
