Not a big a surprise as Jodie Talbot who got a spot in the Australian women's team - She's a 26 year old with limited RR experience who is currently riding for a club/conti team in mainly .2 races.

Well she is the Oceanian champion, so they could either select her or only send six riders.

Since when does the Oceania champion get a direct spot on the Worlds team - I have checked the past records and this has not been an automatic right - For example, Katrin Garfoot won the 2013 Oceania and was not selected for the Australian team - No wonder there were appeals from the women's side.

If the rules were the same in 2013, then Garfoot didn't have a guaranteed spot, because Australia already had 7 spots. You can only bring an eighth rider, if it's the reigning world champion.
Is this an UCI rule ? If so it's a flawed rule, especially if it applies to Australia which is one of the stronger nations. Does this also apply to the European champion or Asian Champion etc. I can understand Australia not choosing Gigante with her lack of racing BUT it seems strange they would overlook Bradbury who could compete for the under 23's.

It applies to all continental champions.
I would have selected Bradbury, but only because of her climbing abilities, since the U23 race within a race is a joke.

No surprise as a number of National Federations - For example, New Zealand cyclists have tp pay their own way to Wollongong for the World's.

Yeah I was listening to Bennett and Bewley talk about that recently on the social distance podcast, blows my mind that if it doesn’t involve an Olympic medal the association doesn’t care.

Belgium could have the following reserve team as a B team and continue to have a better team than the majority of the other countries.
Teuns, Philipsen, Campenaerts, Van Gestel, De Bondt, Van Avermaet, Theuns, Vansevenant
Not counting riders like Benoot or Wellens, who are injured or coming out of injury, or Gilbert.

Yes. The only con I see is if the belgian strategy is set to attack with Remco and have WVA as a follower of moves to finish in a bunch/restricted group sprint.
It will be a waste if WVA is chained to that role. But I wouldn't be surprised.
When it's over will remember the great champions, but there are going to be a lot of riders missing, it's a triple whammy of cost, trade trade team relegation concerns and also apparently focus on winning world tour is also having an impact.

It's possible that only two, Ayuso and Soler, out of the preselected spanish riders are available for the world's. Aranburu, Valverde, Lazkano and Mas might not be allowed to go unless Movistar are secure in the rankings after the Vuelta and the same goes for Ion Izagirre and Jesus Herrada from Cofidis. And strangely enough Ineos might not free Carlos Rodriguez because they want to win the world tour team classification.

The whole situation is super strange, the team also waited until the 4th (when he had arrived on the 31st and they weren't able to contact him) until the reported him as missing.Cyclist filed as missing person after failing to line up for Maryland Classic

I have no idea if that's the case but he wouldn't be the first athlete from Rwanda vanishing or seeking asylum when travelling abroad.
