Preview Highlights<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The first major World event in the Olympic Velodrome since London 2012.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Australia currently lead the medal board with Great Britain equal second along with Germany.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Australia’s Anna Meares returns to the place she became Women’s Olympic Sprint Champion. Although no silver medalist from London 2012 (Victoria Pendleton), Britain’s Jess Varnish (British Champion)gets to step-up to the mark. Current World Cup leader China’s Shuang Gou (bronze at London 2012) will be out to spoil the party. Germanys Kristina Vogel will be the one to beat.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jason Kenny won the Olympic Sprint Gold last time around, but World Champion Francois Pervis will be the focus for the Sprint Events. Pervis was recently beaten by on-form Maximilian Levy (Germany).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Women’s Omnium Olympic Champion Laura Trott will go up against Sarah Hammer (USA) (Silver in London 2012). Current World Cup leader and on-form Jolien O’Hoore (Belgium) will be the one to beat.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Great Britain’s Women’s Team Pursuit will be out to please the home crowd. Winning round one in Mexico, the line-up could include any of the above named athletes.<\/p>\n
