Ponferrada, Spain (September 24, 2014) -- USA Cycling announced Wednesday that Carmen Small (Durango, Colo./Specizlized-lululemon) has withdrawn from the 2014 UCI Road World Championships due to illness. Small won a gold medal on Sunday in the team time trial with her Specialized-lululemon teammates, but was unable to defend her bronze medal in Tuesday's individual time trial.

Tayler Wiles (Fairfax, Calif./Specialized-lululemon) will assume Small's spot in Saturday's road race. She is coming off a second place finish earlier this month in the Tour Cycliste Feminin International de l'Ardeche. Wiles will team with Mara Abbott (Boulder, Colo./UnitedHealthcare), Megan Guarnier (Mountain View, Calif./Boels Dolmans Cycling Team), Lauren Hall (Dolores, Colo./Team Optum p/b Kelly Benefit Strategies), Shelley Olds (Gilroy, Calif./Ale-Cipollini), Alison Powers (Pinecliffe, Colo./UnitedHealthcare) and Evelyn Stevens (Dennis, Mass./Specialized-lululemon) in the road race.
