British Cycling announces Squad for the UCI Track Cycling World Championships in Melbourne.
British Cycling has today announced the GB team which will compete in the UCI Track Cycling World Championships, taking place on 4 - 8 April 2012 in Melbourne, Australia.
Fresh from their success at the final round of the World Cup series in London, where they topped the medal table and broke two World Records in front of a sell-out home crowd, a team of 15 riders will travel to Australia including reigning World Champions Wendy Houvenaghel, Dani King and Laura Trott (Women's Team Pursuit)
Performance Director Dave Brailsford said: "The London World Cup was very positive for us in terms of performance and we're looking to continue the momentum going into the World Championships. We have selected a very similar team to travel to the World Championships;
Overall, we're going to Australia feeling confident, and we're looking forward to competing one last time before the Olympic Games."
