Australia are happy to fly under the radar for what will be a chaotic and brutal women's road race on the last day of the world cycling championships in Scotland.
With all the focus on Belgian star Lotte Kopecky and the powerful Dutch team, the Australians are barely rating a mention in pre-race discussions.
The Escape Collective website preview did not mention an Australian ahead of the 154.1-kilometre race on Sunday night (AEST) that finishes in Glasgow.
But that deafening silence is music to the ears of Australia's team boss Matt White and key riders Amanda Spratt and Grace Brown.
"What we have ... is a very experienced group and a group that is looking to take opportunities on a circuit that bodes well for people willing to put their face in the wind," White said.
"We're not going to lose any sleep with any (preview) not talking about us as favourites or medal contenders.
"Things can happen at championships, with talented athletes who ride well and are cohesive."
The key feature of the race will be the 14.3km Glasgow city finishing circuit, featuring 40 corners and frequent climbs, which the race will cover six times.
The circuit, combined with inclement weather, played havoc with the men's road race earlier this week.
The inevitable chaos is tailor-made for an experienced rider who is cool in a crisis and has racing smarts - such as Spratt.
Brown also has proven form, having missed out on the gold medal in the world championships road time trial by just six seconds.
"It's going to be absolute chaos. That we have no race radios is actually an advantage for us, compared to a lot of other nations, in terms of we're all really good at working together," Spratt said.
"We're definitely the underdogs, for sure, but on this course that's also a benefit."
Spratt is unsure of her form, having fallen ill after finishing 10th at last month's Tour de France.
"I just hope the legs come good for Sunday. It's a course that can suit me in terms of the resilience and the race of attrition," she said.
"I expect to be able to play a good role there."
Likewise, Brown is determined to race well after taking a second-straight silver medal in the time trial at the worlds.
"It's a bit of mixed emotions. It's definitely given me confidence in my form and where I'm at," she said.
"You don't necessarily have to be written up as a favourite to perform well, if you've built your form at the right time.
"I was agonisingly close (to gold in the time trial) ... it's a little bittersweet."
