Germany going for gold in the Worlds time trials
Sprinters look to claim road title
Germany looks to claim both time trial titles, as it sending reigning world time trial champion Lisa Brennauer and three-time world champion Tony Martin to the World Championships in Richmond later this month. Sprinters John Degenkolb and Andre Greipel will head up the men’s road team.
