The team that Australia will send to the 2015 UCI Track World Championships is on its way to Paris for the February 18-22 event.
The 20-rider roster, which includes five athletes who will be competing at the World Championships for the first time, will be led by by reigning world champions Alexander Edmondson, Amy Cure, 10-time world champion Anna Meares and three-time world champions Jack Bobridge and Glenn O'Shea.
The Australian team claimed three world titles (women's points, men's individual and team pursuit) at the 2014 championships in Colombia, and they took home eight medals in total.
