While we earlier posted the list of athletes expected to race the Cross Worlds at the end of the month, that was unofficial.  Now, Cycling Canada has released the official list of riders who will represent Canada in Hoogerheide, Netherlands, on February 1st and 2nd.

The Canadian team selection was based on the results of the 2013 Canadian Cyclo-Cross Championships, and includes Junior men, U23 men, and Elite men. No women opted to travel to the the Worlds. The team will make its competition debut at the UCI World Cup in Nommay, France, this weekend, in preparation for the World Championships the following week.
