Team GB plans for Word road champs?

Seeing the Froome Vuelta story got me thinking about the World Champs this year, and in particular the road race.

Does anyone think GB has a plan for the Worlds this year? I can't imagine them not having some form of plan, but have they written it off this year?

The course is lumpy with a steep climb up to the finish, so Cav won't be defending his jersey. The course is suited to someone like Thomas, but he won't have the base after the Olympics.

What do people think GB will do?

Pat McQuaid, President of the UCI and the head of world cycle sport is a man of strong opinions and an often controversial figure, whether you agree with him or not he always has something to say, and what he has to say usually shapes UCI policy. We caught up with him in London this week for an in-depth interview about the Olympics, the state of professional cycle sport and much more.
