Manx cyclist Anna Christian has been selected to represent Great Britain at the forthcoming World Road Championships in Italy.

Last month, the 18 year-old became the British Junior Women’s National Road Race Champion at Ampleforth in North Yorkshire.

Anna will compete in the Junior Women's Road Race in Tuscany later this month.

Mark Cavendish is named as one of 11 riders which will be reduced to 8 for the Men's Elite Road Race - also in the squad are Tour de France winner Chris Froome and Sir Bradley Wiggins.
