The 2016 UCI Road World Championships may be the first time all season that many cycling fans will have the chance to see the stars of the future. To help out, Chris Kuntz has picked out some of the riders from the junior and U23 categories on the men's side who are well worth keeping an eye on in Doha.
Brandon McNulty (USA)
Age: 18
Category: Junior
Last year, American Brandon McNulty didn't lose a single time trial he competed in until his bronze medal in at the World Championships in Richmond. This year, McNulty has again remained undefeated in time trials in the junior ranks, including wins in the Pays de Vaud, Trofeo Karlsberg and the Tour de l'Abitibi stage races - the latter two leading to overall victories.

McNulty also took his second straight American Junior Time Trial title along with a Team Time Trial title with his LUX Development-Specialized team.
