The pair of Nicholas Paul and Akile Campbell will be the lone riders to represent T&T at the World Championships scheduled from October 20-24 in Roubaix, France.
This was decided following an emergency meeting last week, amid the selection of eight spots for T&T by the UCI (International Cycling Union) for the Championships.
President of the T&T Cycling Federation (TTCF) Rowena Williams sought to clear the air on concerns that her federation only had funding to send the two riders, saying: "We would have definitely received word on the eight spots which we are very happy about, however, it's something we did not envisage.
"We would not have seen it coming because we did not have a team pursuit team go out there and really participate in several events to achieve that qualification, so we would not have had teams training and preparing for those specific events, so to say we were going to send teams for the team pursuit or the team sprint that's a no.
"However, we will be participating in the keirin and the kilometre time trial, which could be key to Nicholas Paul who won gold medals in both events at the Nations Cup and Akile Campbell who again was a gold medallist at the elimination event, a gold medallist at the Pan Am Scratch Race and his pet event which is the Omnium."
She added: "At this time because of the short notice, to get the cyclists ready for that high-level event, that time span is a little difficult so we would not be fielding a team for the team sprint and neither will we be fielding a team for the team pursuit."
From the emergency meeting, it was also agreed on to submit the budget to fund the team.
Meanwhile, the much talked about UCI satellite centre at the National Cycling Centre (NCC) in Balmain, Couva could be here very soon.
The TTCF president is pushing for January for at least the submission of documents to the UCI, a move she said can be achieved if they push hard enough.
Williams and her federation members have now gone past the concept of having a satellite centre here in T&T and are now looking to its start, its operations and what it would mean for local, regional and international cyclists.
During an interview recently, the local cycling boss gave an update on the centre, saying: "The Cycling Federation is on the pathway to making sure that they have the National Cycling Centre (NCC), the satellite centre together with the Ministry of Sports and the Sport Company working together in a partnership, and of course the UCI being a major player in this whole structure.
"We're going to have a lot of work to do in getting this up and running and that includes a lot of strategic planning, work which entails us partnering with different stakeholders to prepare a project plan to ensure this centre is certified as a satellite centre.
"The initial discussions we had in Belgium was really a guiding structure in terms of what is required, who are the people that will make up the project team, and this will also include the Olympic Committee, the Pan American Sports personnel and of course members of the Ministry.
"So it's going to be a big project plan that will be put together, a team to have the plan in place and of course, once we have the paperwork and the strategic proposal are submitted for review and approval by the UCI, then we can move forward into getting things signed off and getting the centre running."
Williams is following through on the efforts of previous president Robert Farrier and his executive, who began talks and piecing together the structure for the satellite centre, which they hoped would be the hub of cycling in the region and wider Pan American and American areas.
Williams told Guardian Media Sports that more top quality riders will be created from the satellite centre, noting: " The vision of the president of the International Cycling Union is always to set up satellite centres in various regions that will allow for the preparation of cyclists in the different disciplines, to get themselves ready and to bring them to that high-performance level.
"What the UCI has put in place is that once the centres are set up, then they're going to have their coaches from the Centre in Switzerland come and do talent identification to eventually spot talent coming out of the centres from whichever country, and move them to the WCC (World Cycling Centre) to get further training and develop even better.
"And we see how the coaches at the WCC prepare the cyclists, we saw it with Nicholas Paul and Kwesi Browne and them."
Apart from cyclists, local coaches, mechanics and even administrators are set to benefit from the satellite centre, as she described the programme as a holistic one.
