British Cycling confirm the team for next week's UCI Road World Championships in Holland.

Bradley Wiggins and Chris Froome have been named alongside defending champion Mark Cavendish in the Great Britain team for next week's UCI Road World Championships.

Froome will also compete in the time trial, an event in which he won bronze at the Olympics, with Alex Dowsett.

Steve Cummings, Luke Rowe, Ian Stannard, Ben Swift and Jon Tiernan-Locke make up the rest of the men's team that will travel to Holland.

Cavendish won the coveted rainbow jersey in Copenhagen last year, before leaving HTC-Highroad to join Team Sky.

The women's team has also been announced, with Olympic road race silver medallist Lizzie Armitstead heading the pack.

She will be joined by Katie Colclough, Nicole Cooke, Nikki Harris, Sharon Laws and Emma Pooley - who will also take part in the time trial with Wendy Houvenhagel.
