The U.S. Men's Elite Team selected for the 77th UCI Road World Championships in Geelong will be:
Tyler Farrar, Danny Pate, Tom Peterson, Christian Vande Velde, David Zabriskie (Garmin-Transitions), Craig Lewis, Tejay Van Garderen (HTC-Columbia), Ted King (Cervélo), Jason McCartney (RadioShack). *no Lance Armstrong, Levi Leipheimer, George Hincapie, Chris Horner. *Zabriskie and Van Garderen will ride the time trial
Who will win? CyclingNews.com gives this tip - "the climbing is in the last 180km as opposed to 3,076m being spread over the 260km distance. Therefore, the type of rider we were looking for is someone who would be quite successful in the Ardennes Classics."
