Representing the Italian colors are Friulian Chantal Pegolo and Abruzzese Elena De Laurentiis, whom we introduced during last Tuesday's time trial. Completing the Italian National Team is Giada Silo, a 2007 rider from Villaga, Vicenza, racing for the Breganze Millenium team. For our girls, it will be a challenging yet stimulating day to aim for something important. We recall that Silo and Pegolo are participating in their second world road championship after Zurich 2024.

Among the most feared opponents is the complete Spanish national team. The Iberians are five and all credited to aim for the podium, starting with the time trial silver medalist Ostiz, who will be accompanied by Almena, Neira, Castro de La Serna, and Aranguren. Following are the British Boothman, Blackburn, and Miller, the Dutch Muller, Mons, and the fresh time trial world champion Arens.

In the outsider role are the Canadians Carrier, who comes from off-road, and Swierenga. But the chances of achieving results also involve the Polish Okrucinska, the Norwegian Gissinger (time trial bronze), the Belgian De Buysser, the Czech Hanakova, the Slovenian Terpin, and the American duo composed of Cusack and Sarkisov.
