What comes next for Mark Cavendish?
The road and time-trial events will take place in Glasgow and across Scotland from August 3-13, with Cavendish's participation dependent on his recovery.
Geraint Thomas, the 2018 Tour winner, will compete in the time trial, while Lizzie Deignan, the 2015 world road champion, has been selected after giving birth to her second child last September.
Deignan will be joined by world under-23 road race silver medallist Pfeiffer Georgi, and Tom Pidcock, currently riding the Tour, is also on the long list.
The squad has a good mix of experienced riders and young talent, according to Deignan, who is looking forward to racing on familiar roads in Glasgow.
Cavendish's recovery will be closely monitored in the coming days, with a decision on his participation expected soon.
The road world championships will feature 13 events over 11 days, with the best riders from around the world competing for the top prizes.
