British Cycling LogoLizzie Armitstead out of Saturday's world championship road race through illness
British Cycling has announced that Lizzie Armitstead, who took Olympic silver in the road race last month behind Marianne Vos of the Netherlands, is out of this Saturday's world championship road race in Limburg due to illness.
In a brief statement, the giverning body confirmed that "the team have decided not to call in a reserve rider at this stage."
That means that Great Britain will be represented by five riders in the race - fomer world and Olympic champion Nicole Cooke, Emma Pooley, who missed out on a time trial medal yesterday, finishing fourth, current British national champion Sharon Laws plus Katie Colclough and Nikki Harris.
Simon joined road.cc as news editor in 2009 and is now the site’s community editor, acting as a link between the team producing the content and our readers. A law and languages graduate, published translator and former retail analyst, he has reported on issues as diverse as cycling-related court cases, anti-doping investigations, the latest developments in the bike industry and the sport’s biggest races. Now back in London full-time after 15 years living in Oxford and Cambridge, he loves cycling along the Thames but misses having his former riding buddy, Elodie the miniature schnauzer, in the basket in front of him.
