Ballerup, Denmark, will host the UCI Track World Championships from 16 October with five days of fast-paced racing.
The world’s elite indoor cyclists will compete for international glory across the sprint and endurance disciplines.
Coming off a successful Olympic track campaign, the Australian selectors have opted for a blend of youth and experience, sending six Track World debutantes to learn from their more experienced counterparts.
Olympic gold medallist Kelland O’Brien is among them, as are Thomas Cornish and Leigh Hoffman, while Kristina Clonan will lead the women’s contingent alongside fellow Olympian Alexandra Manly. Debutantes Blake Agnoletto, Liam Walsh, Ryan Elliott, Alessia McCaig, Molly McGill and Keira Will complete the squad.
The good news is that SBS will live-stream all five days of the event in some capacity via SBS On Demand with full replays shortly after the live-streamed session because, for many of us, the racing will take place in the early hours of the morning!
