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.
The German women will have four starters in the time trial race. As champion, Brennauer has an automatic start place, as does European champion Mieke Kröger. They will be joined by Trixi Worrack and Corinna Lechner. Martin will look to reclaim his world title, and will be joined by Niklas Arndt.
In the men’s road race, Degenkolb and Greipel will head up a strong team, which includes Martin and Tour de France stage winner Simon Geschke.
