Heinrich Haussler will be an unexpected name on the start line for elite men at Sunday's UCI Cyclo-cross World Championships in Ostend, the Australian declaring his participation on Wednesday.

The 36-year-old Haussler, who has been a pro on the road since 2005, has taken to cyclo-cross as a way of maintaining fitness for the road season over the past two seasons.
