USA Cycling announced the Elite, U23 and Junior teams for the 2020 World Championships in Dübendorf, Switzerland today. The USA contingent will include 6 Elite women and men, 9 U23 riders and 10 Juniors.

Said USA Cycling Cyclocross Manager Jesse Anthony about the 2020 team:

We are very excited about all of the athletes selected to compete in the 2020 UCI Cyclocross World Championships. We are lucky to have a large group of dedicated, skilled and capable athletes who will compete and after the successful performances we saw during the USA Cycling Development Program’s most recent racing block over the holidays, I am optimistic about our potential for success at this year’s World Championships.

The primary purpose of USA Cycling fielding a team at the Cyclocross World Championships is to win medals and stand on the podium.  We have a secondary purpose of providing a developmental opportunity for athletes who show the potential to stand on the podium in the future.
