I feel badly (almost) for team selectors picking a team for Worlds. No matter who they pick, someone will always be upset. I absolutely get Sheehan being upset about not being selected, but… the selectors aren’t picking the best eight riders, they’re picking eight riders who will make the best team (or at least they should be).

Yeah, that’s a non-selection that I can’t figure out.

It’s down to courses too. I don’t think Tim Merlier is complaining about not being selected this year.
