The 2024 Road World Championships opens this weekend in and around Zurich, Switzerland, and Canada has selected a total of 29 riders for Junior women (4) and men (4), Under-23 men (4) and Elite women (7) and men (4), as well as three Para women and seven Para men. [Note: since we posted this story, Cycling Canada has released an amended list with a couple of changes, which we have identified below]
The Worlds will open on Saturday with the Para Team Relay, followed by Individual Time Trials from Sunday to Tuesday. Wednesday, the road races begin for Para, as will as the Mixed Team Relay. Thursday to Sunday are the rest of the road races, culminating with the Elite Men's and Para men's H4/H5 road race on Sunday, September 29th.
Canada has a number of Olympians racing, including Paula Findlay (TT and Mixed Team Relay), Olivia Baril (both RR and TT), Alison Jackson (RR), Mike Woods (RR) and Derek Gee (RR and TT). All the Para riders will do both the TT and RR, including Paralympians Mel Pemble, Nathan Clement, Alexandre Hayward, Charles Moreau and Joey Desjardin. Mike Sametz is listed for the C3 men's events, however, he suffered a serious injury pre-Paralympics, and is unlikely to race [Note: this is now confirmed]. The Tandem squad of Lowell and Veal is also not racing, but were on the original selection list.
