Tom Pidcock, the 23-year-old road cycling athlete, will lead Britain's medal charge at the Road World Championships in Rwanda from 21-28 September.
## What happened?
Pidcock produced the best grand tour result of his career with a podium finish in Spain on Sunday.
He finished third at the Vuelta, a result that has boosted his confidence ahead of the World Championships.
## Why it matters for Tom Pidcock
The World Championships will feature a tough men's road race with 5,400m of elevation gain, which should suit Pidcock's climbing abilities.
Pidcock will be joined by Oscar Onley, who was fourth at the Tour de France, and other British riders in the men's elite category.
## What comes next?
The Championships will take place in Kigali, the capital of Rwanda, and will feature a strong British squad in the under-23 category, led by Cat Ferguson.
Ferguson, 19, has been riding in her first full season at the top level for Spanish team Movistar and has already earned her first World Tour stage win.
She will be joined by Imogen Wolff, Flora Perkins, and Eilidh Shaw in the inaugural under-23 road race.
The women's under-23 race will feature over 2,400m of elevation gain condensed into 119.3km, a challenging course that will test the riders' endurance.
Ferguson is an accomplished climber and one of Britain's biggest hopes for a medal, but she remains cautious about her chances.
Pidcock's experience and skill will be crucial in the men's road race, where he will face tough competition from other top riders.
The British team is looking to make a strong impression at the Championships, with several riders in contention for medals.
