Poland doesn't even bother to send a team for the men's RR race. This must be the first such case in Poland for a very long time. The reasons are: no participation of Majka & Kwiatkowski plus complicated logistics and high costs of travel to Rwanda.

Makes me wonder if we will some similar “abandons” for Montreal next year?

I've heard rumors of Villa wanting two separate teams for WC and EC, so I presume he'll select Scaroni for the race he has a slightly bigger chance to podium.
Imo that is the only reasonable explanation, because some of the riders who were selected deserve it less than Scaroni.

If race organisers can support teams with hotels, arranging block bookings at discounted price etc, why not the UCI.
Teams seem to be having to make their own arrangements.

The required vaccinations might also be an issue.

There are no required vaccines for Rwanda tbf... it is not in yellow fever zone (so the only people who would need it are those who are coming from a country with yellow fever transmission... which I doubt anyone at Worlds is) and basically every single other vaccine on earth to go anywhere is on a voluntary basis anyway.

Would I go to some places without the Hep A? No. But it is not required!
