Irish Cycling Federation published the name of the riders who will ride the World Championships in Richmond, Virginia. Sam Bennett (Bora Argon 18) and Conor Dunne (An Post Chain Reaction) will take on the Elite men’s road race. 

"It has been been hit with injuries at Elite level but all the selected riders are in the best shape possible", the federation explained. National time trial champion Siobhán Horgan will contest the Elite women's time trial, with national road champion Fiona Meade and Olivia Dillon riding the road race. No rider will contest the Elite men’s time trial.

About the U23, Irish national time trial champion Ryan Mullen will compete. Last year, he finished second by just half a second to Australia's Campbell Flakemore.
