COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Sept. 6) - USA Cycling announced Friday the automatic athlete nominations to compete at the 2002 World Road Cycling Championships, Oct. 8-13 in Zolder, Belgium. These athletes earned their nominations based on performances at the 2002 USCF National Road Cycling Championships and for consistent, outstanding results in international competition.

The nominations include a host of young junior riders, who earned their World Championships berths by winning national titles. This group includes Josh Kerkhof (Fort Worth, Texas), Megan Long (Oklahoma City, Okla.), Zak Grabowski (Lafayette, Colo.), Tyler Farrar (Wenatchee, Wash.) and Larssyn Staley (Beaverton, Ore.). Long recently returned from competition at the World Mountain Bike Championships in Kaprun, Austria (Aug. 27-Sept. 1), where she finished 12th in the junior women's cross county event.

Elite women road riders Deirdre Demet-Barry (Boulder, Colo.), Kimberly Bruckner (Boulder, Colo.) and Amber Neben (Santa Ana, Calif.) earned berths based on podium (top 3) performances at UCI World Cup races this season. Jessica Phillips (Boulder, Colo.) earned a nomination as 2002 National Road Champion.

U23 and elite male athletes nominated to the 2002 World Road Cycling Championships team include: Will Frishkorn (Boulder, Colo.); Mike Creed (Colorado Springs, Colo.); Fred Rodriguez (Emeryville, Calif.); and Chris Horner (Bend, Ore.).

"We're very pleased with the automatic nominations to this year's World Championship Road Team," said Steve Johnson, Chief Operating Officer and Athletic Director for USA Cycling. "Considering the location and time of year, we expect the 2002 Road World Championships courses to present challenging conditions. But this is a strong group of riders, and these World Championships are a great opportunity for our junior athletes to get exposure to elite international competition."

USA Cycling will announce the discretionary team nominations on Tuesday, Sept. 10. These athletes will be chosen based on international World Cup results from this season and performances at the 2002 National Road Cycling Championships.
