Kennys, Archibald, Clancy lead Great Britain at Berlin Track World Cup
British Cycling have named their squad for the third round of the UCI Track World Cup in Berlin at the end of the month, with Laura and Jason Kenny both present along with Katie Archibald and Ed Clancy.
The British squad have had a strong start to the World Cup series, starting out in Paris, France with six medals before topping the table with nine in Milton, Canada.
The six-round World Cup series represents part of the build-up to the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, with qualifying points on offer along with a chance to start laying the foundations for the Games in elite competition.
Great Britain's squad for Berlin, which takes place from November 30 to December 2, and precedes their 'home' round in London in December, is similar to the one that tasted success in Canada.
Laura Kenny will be a key figure as she continues to move through the gears since returning from maternity leave at the World Championships in February. After winning two gold medals at the European Championships in the summer, she made her World Cup comeback in Canada and claimed a dominant victory in the Omnium as well as winning another gold with the team pursuit squad.
She will line up in the same events again, with fellow Olympic champion Katie Archibald also in the team pursuit squad. The other gold medal-winning pursuit riders from Canada, Elinor Barker and Ellie Dickinson, are absent in Berlin, with Emily Kay and Emily Nelson stepping into the endurance line-up, along with national road race champion Jess Roberts, who makes her World Cup debut.
