The Czech Republic and Norway have both announced their teams for the 2015 Road Race World Championships in Richmond, USA later this month.

Both teams qualified six riders, and Alexander Kristoff with Edvald Boasson Hagen as backup will lead Norway.

Zdenek Stybar leads a Czech team that doesn’t include Sky’s Leopold Konig, a big name but a climber, who probably wont suit the Classics-like course.

The Czech team: Jan Bárta, Karel Hník, Roman Kreuziger, Jiří Polnický, Zdeněk Štybar and Petr Vakoč.

Reserves: Jan Hirt, Alois Kaňkovský and Leopold König.

The Norwegian team: Alexander Kristoff, Edvald Boasson Hagen, Lars Petter Nordhaug, Sven Erik Bystrøm, Vegard Breen and Vegard Stake Laengen.
