Austria for the World Championships
Marco Haller (Katusha-Alpecin), Gregor Mühlberger and Lukas Pöstlberger (both Bora-Hansgrohe) will represent Austria in the men’s road race at the UCI Road World Championships in Bergen. Stefan Denifl, who won the Vuelta a Espana stage 17 atop the Alto de los Machucos, is the alternate.
Mühlberger won both the national road title and Rund um Köln this season. Pöstlberger took the first leader’s jersey in this year’s Giro d’Italia when he unexpectedly won the sprint of the first stage.
For the time trial, Pöstlberger and Riccardo Zoidl (Felbrmayr Simplon Wells) will represent the Alpine nation. Former world hour record holder Matthias Brändle (Trek-Segafredo), was not named to the squad because of the climbing involved.
