Simon has been named in the Australian cyclones team to compete at the 2008 World Road Championships in Varese, Italy on Sunday 28th of September. The team was narrowed down after selectors announced the squad late last month. One notable absence is that of Cadel Evens who will be cheering on the cyclones from the sideline after another stunning year in the saddle.

The eight Australian's lining up along side Simon will be Matthew Goss, Adam Hansen, Trent Lowe, Robbie McEwen, Allan Davis and fellow Olympians Stuart O'Grady, Matt Lloyd and Michael Rogers. Three-time World Champion Rogers and National Champion Hansen will contest the individual road time trial.
