The Great Britain endurance team, which includes Bradley Wiggins and Mark Cavendish, are in the United States, for a training camp ahead of the Tour of California.
In their first major gathering since the UCI Track World Championships in March, the team will concentrate on building base miles.
“The dust has just settled from the Worlds and we’re getting back into training," team pursuit coach, Heiko Salzwedel, told Cyclingnews from the team’s US base.

"Now it’s not really the right time to talk about selection. We’re here as a team and not fighting each other, it’s about conditioning and miles on the road. After Tour of California, then we’ll look at selection,”
The training camp also includes Ed Clancy and Stephen Burke – two team pursuit riders who are competing with Mark Cavendish for the one Ominum spot at the Olympic Games. There was no place at the camp for fellow Omnium hopeful, Jon Dibben, who is still recovering from recent surgery.
“It’s very frustrating but the doctor didn’t allow the flight," said Salzwedel. “He couldn’t come with us. He’s training at home. I get daily updates from him and the doctor and progress is normal, it’s good but it’s a race against time.”
