Anyways, sob story over.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The World Championships take place from Sept. 17 to 25 around Wollongong, a coastal city 80 km south of Ewan\u2019s hometown of Sydney. <\/p>\n<p>The host nation\u2019s men\u2019s team will be led by Jai Hindley, who became the first Australian to win the Giro d\u2019Italia in May, and Michael Matthews, a former under-23 world champion who won the 14th stage of this year\u2019s Tour de France.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis was a very difficult selection as we have such a big and talented pool of athletes to select from,\u201d said team coordinator Rory Sutherland.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAthletes are always proud to race in the green and gold \u2013 doing so on home soil is a dream that probably comes once in a lifetime.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Amanda Spratt, who owns silver and bronze medals from previous world championship road races, will compete in the Australian women\u2019s team along with Georgia Baker, who won gold in the road race at the recent Commonwealth Games. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s always an honour and privilege to wear the green and gold, so I am so excited to be named in the team for my 10th World Championships,\u201d said Spratt.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven more special is that it is a home World Championships that covers roads I grew up training on.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Ewan has had a disappointing season by his own standards, having failed to win a stage on either the Tour de France or  Giro d\u2019Italia and missing the Commonwealth Games after failing to recover in time from a shoulder surgery.  <\/p>\n<p> (Reporting by Nick Mulvenney, editing by Robert Birsel)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/?attachment_id=2741688\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI7P077-VIEWIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI7P077-VIEWIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SYDNEY (Reuters) \u2013 Australian cyclist Caleb Ewan said he was heartbroken to have missed out on his country\u2019s team for the road World Championships on home soil in Wollongong next<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":66,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1623208","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1623208","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/66"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1623208"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1623208\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1623208"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1623208"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1623208"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
