Mark Cavendish and Laura Trott will spearhead Great Britain's charge at the third and final event of the UCI Track World Cup series in Hong Kong later this month.
It will be the first time that Cavendish, who is hungry to win an Olympic medal that eluded him in 2008 and 2012, has represented his country on the boards since the 2009 Track World Championships. The Manxman made a concerted return to track racing last summer but missed the first World Cup event in Colombia due to shoulder surgery, while GB took a youthful squad to the second leg in New Zealand.
“It will be my first World Cup on the track for a lot of years I think so I’m looking forward to it," said Cavendish, who will ride the Omnium - the event in which he's bidding for selection for Rio.

"I’m used to doing more events at a world cup, the Madison, the scratch, and now just doing the omnium is a little bit different from what I’m used to, but I’m super looking forward to it.”
The final leg of the World Cup is the final major event ahead of the UCI Track World Championships in London in March, and one of the few remaining major milestones on the road to the Olympic Games in Rio in the summer.
