Aussie champs put titles on the line

Australia's 32-strong team will join more than 800 athletes from more than 50 countries in Mont-Sainte-Anne, Quebec, for the 31 August to 5 September event.

Toowoomba's Graves, 27, won his second World Cup series title in the United States on the weekend and is in ominous form.

Buchanan had a shocking time of it at last month's BMX world championships and will be eager to redeem herself.
 
After a hugely successful 2009 UCI Mountain Bike World Championships in Canberra, in which Australia won two gold, a silver and two bronze medals, the team will be hopeful of exceeding that result.
 
Dual world downhill champion Samuel Hill (2006 and 2007) and will 17-year-old downhill young gun Troy Brosnan wil be among a strong 10-man Aussie contingent in that event while  Australian cross country champion Rowena Fry and national series victor Lachlan Norris will lead Australia’s cross country charge.
