Niamh Fisher-Black leads youthful New Zealand women's team for Road Worlds

Niamh Fisher-Black on the podium at the 2023 Road World Championships in Wollongong after winning the U23 title in the road race

After delivering a skeleton team to the Road World Championships in Wollongong in 2022 amid a costs squeeze, New Zealand is once again back in force in the chase for the rainbow jersey in 2023.

The nation will be sending a six strong men's elite team to contest the 271km road race on August 6 at the Glasgow World Championships – compared to its lone competitor in the category last year – and will be backing the 2022 U23 world title holder, Niamh Fisher-Black, with a six rider road squad for the combined elite and U23 women's road race. 

On top of that an additional two riders have been added to the tally for the 36.2km U23/elite women's time trial on Thursday August 10 and for the 47.8km men's elite time trial on Friday August 11.
