Michael Matthews and Rohan Dennis will lead Australia in Glasgow

More and more national coaches have their homework ready for the upcoming cycling world championships in Glasgow, Scotland. The Australians are mainly counting on Michael Matthews in the road race. In the time trial, Rohan Dennis will give his farewell to rainbow race.
The team has some of the big names of recent World Champonship history with three-time (2015, 2017 and 2022) road race medallist Matthews or two-time (2018 and 2019) ITT champion Rohan Dennis.
Matthews has spent the past few weeks at altitude to prepare himself as best as possible for the upcoming world championships in Glasgow. The course is perfect for Matthews, but he is certainly not the only fast rider in the Australian selection. Kaden Groves and Caleb Ewan hope for a success in case of a sprint of bigger group.
Australia for Road Race World Championship:
Simon Clarke, Luke Durbrigde, Caleb Ewan, Kaden Groves, Michael Matthews, Luke Plapp, Robert Stannard and Harry Sweeny
Simon Clarke, Luke Durbrigde, Caleb Ewan, Kaden Groves, Michael Matthews, Luke Plapp, Robert Stannard and Harry Sweeny
In the time trial it is up to Rohan Dennis and Jay Vine to defend the Australian honor as best as possible. For Dennis it is the last time that he will take action at a World Championship: the 33-year old rider will end his career at the end of the season. Dennis already became world champion against the clock in 2018 and 2019.

- it will be interesting to see his results when he steps into the bigger races. 19 wins, but so many in the fall in mid level races. still the mid races need to be won to step up to the biggies.mij09-01-2026
- Looks like his poor health just stomped on the rear mech of his cycling career.Onepiece09-01-2026
- she is so good. even her results from 2025, which were “bad”, would be a career year for most riders. and consider at MSR, for example, her teammate won - perhaps Lotte could have won it. wishing her the best for 2026!mij09-01-2026

- Not sure you can say that someone as talented and successful as him has had bad luck, but between coming along right after the two titans and now this, his is a career cut short. Perhaps he can transition to a different role in the sport, but in any case I wish him well.MidnightRider08-01-2026
- I doubt it. This blows a hole in their ranks.mobk08-01-2026
- For a while there, Eli was the best of the rest in cyclocross behind Mathieu and Wout. It must be tough to be forced to retire early due to medical issues, but good health trumps everything else. I wish him the best in his future endeavors.
santiagobenites08-01-2026 - however you frame it, it seems that they asked more from Ayuso (who obviously did not deliver the needed support) than they are asking from del Torro ... who - according to this quote - just needs to show up and can then ride however he likes.Ketterechts08-01-2026
- I agree that Ayuso was wrong in doing what he did at the tour, but we don't know everything behind the feud unless they all say honestly what went wrong. If he us such a rat and traitor, which it's a bit harsh, then what is to be said about Soler when he was with Movistar and didn't want to ride for Mas? I was disappointed, yes, but realize riders also have goals, and right now, UAE is all about their golden boy.Colnago-fan08-01-2026
