After cross-referencing the start list for the world championships this week with the start list from the Tour of Missouri, we came up with 16 riders of the 116 starters here who will travel to Stuttgart this weekend. The riders will dish the dirt with each other about their experience here. Strong results, though, will be a better testimonial for teams invited here next year.
