Bernal secured his first Grand Tour title when leading home Team Ineos teammate Geraint Thomas in Paris in July.
He will bid to become the first South American to make the podium at the championships, although the road race course is unlikely to favour the diminutive 22-year-old.
Bernal has never raced in the Road World Championships or the UK.
The event takes place between September 22-29.
