Matthew Busche hopes to be present at the start of the World Championships road race. This event will take place in his country, in Richmond, Virginia. But the Trek Factory Racing rider crashed at the Tour of Utah and he is uncertain to be at the top for the elite men's road race.
"I would love to ride Worlds," said Busche according to Cyclingnews. "It would be a huge honour to race for the US, in the US. It doesn’t happen very often. I haven’t had too many chances to perform after my crash. It’s been a hard year for me mentally and physically but I would love to go to Worlds."
"Crashing at Utah and then not performing in Colorado as I had hoped - it doesn’t look as good on paper, but on the other hand, maybe I have a little bit of freshness in my body, if I can recover enough. The progression of racing coming up could lead me into Quebec and Montreal and then into Worlds. That would be a perfect preparation. It’s all up to them [USA Cycling] and what they see, and how they feel about who is prepared enough."
He would like to be in the US selection for Worlds, but he would like also to find a new contract for 2016. Indeed, the US rider will be free at the end of this season. "Next year is still a little bit up in the air. I definitely would like to stay with Trek but it depends on what places there are with in the team, so I will have to see how it plays out."
