British team for track worlds

British Cycling has announced their team for the 2007 UCI Track World Championships, to be held in Palma, Majorca on from March 29 to April 1. The team includes Bradley Wiggins, making his first appearance at the Championships since 2003, Chris Hoy and Victoria Pendleton, among others.

The team will also include a number of riders making their World Championship debuts. Notable amongst these are Junior World Champions Anna Blyth and Shanaze Reade. Blyth won the keirin at last year's Junior World Track Championships, but Shanaze's title was won in BMX. Shanaze made her Track racing debut only last month, picking up a silver in the women's team sprint with Blyth at the Manchester World Cup event. Also making their debuts are young endurance bunch-race specialist Katie Curtis and rower turned pursuiter Rebecca Romero, and endurance rider Jonny Bellis.
