Two world champions are on the provisional start list for the second edition of the Aviva Women's Tour in Britain - time trial champion Lisa Brennauer (Velocio-SRAM) and road race winner Pauline Ferrand Prevot (Rabo Liv), but the latter's participation is still unsure as she has battled leg pain since the end of May.
Prevot hasn't raced since dropping out of the Albstadt mountain bike World Cup last month, and hoped to be back in time for the French championships later this month. The final start list will be published after tomorrow's teams presentation.
Home favourite Lizzie Armitstead will head up a powerful Boels Dolmans squad. The British rider, fresh off a World Cup victory in Philadelphia will be joined by US champion Megan Guarnier.

Two-time world champion Giorgia Bronzini will lead the Wiggle Honda squad, with Elisa Longo Borghini, Belgian champion Jolien D'hoore fresh off a win in the Flanders Diamond Tour, and Olympic gold medalist Dani King.
"I can't wait for the Aviva Women's Tour," King said. "I rode it last year and it was just incredible. The amount of support we had on the side of the roads was unbelievable and the fact every stage is televised is so important for women's cycling."
King's fellow team pursuiters Laura Trott and Joanna Rowsell will also take part with Matrix Fitness and Pearl Izumi Sports Tours, respectively.
