USA Cycling takes on Sunday's Cycling World Championships elite men's road race without three of their top riders, with Quinn Simmons and Matteo Jorgenson benched with injuries and Magnus Sheffield is still coming back from a crash in the Tour de Suisse.

Sheffield crashed during the Tour de Suisse in a separate incident but on the same descent as Gino Mäder, who died from his injuries. He suffered a concussion and spent several weeks off the bike, only resuming training on a stationary trainer in July, according to a post on his social media accounts.
