    Laura Kenny in action in Berlin

    After finishing fourth in the scratch race, Laura Kenny is set to ride in the first round of the women's team pursuit on Thursday, just a month after breaking her shoulder.

    Kenny had originally said she would sit out the team pursuit in Berlin, because she was concerned about standing starts.

    British Cycling have now announced Kenny will replace Neah Evans in the GB four for the next round of the team pursuit.

    Evans, with Katie Archibald, Elinor Barker and Ellie Dickinson, set the second fastest time behind the United States in Wednesday’s qualifying.

  8. 'Focus is on Tokyo 2020, not Worlds'published at 18:28 Greenwich Mean Time 26 February 2020

    This week's World Championships "could be tricky" for Britain's team pursuit squad says Ed Clancy, but the Olympic champion maintains the focus is on the "bigger picture" of Tokyo 2020.

    GB, including Clancy, have won the last three Olympic titles in the event.

    But Australia have established themselves as the dominant force since Rio 2016 and are favourites to win gold at this week's Worlds in Berlin.

    "The competition is red hot," Clancy, 34, told Â鶹ԼÅÄ Sport.

    "In an ideal world, we'd be sat on top of the pile but the reality is, right now, I think we're behind those guys and it could potentially be a tricky World Championships for us.

    "But that won't change anything as we head towards Tokyo. We know we'll do a better performance there, as we have done in the past."

  10. How to get into cyclingpublished at 18:21 Greenwich Mean Time 26 February 2020

    Â鶹ԼÅÄ Sport

    Just hop on a bike and you're good to go.

    Road cycling, the most common form of cycling, is simply riding a bike outside for exercise, sport or to get from A to B. Track cycling adds a competitive element and sees riders race around a specialist track at high speeds.

    and have information about clubs and racing tracks in your local area.

    The programme, for women cyclists, offers a range of safe and sociable cycle routes for all abilities. If you don't have access to a bike there are hundreds of bike rental facilities across the UK.
