USA Cycling has announced its wildcard selections for the 2024 UCI Gravel World Championships in Belgium and while it is no surprise that national champions Brennan Wertz and Lauren Stephens are among the squad, there is a notable absence.
Keegan Swenson – the rider to beat on the US gravel scene and top-five finisher at last year's rainbow jersey race – had been offered a spot to compete, but he declined to participate to instead focus on the final pair of Life Time Grand Prix series races.
