The New Zealand track team arrived in Moscow to prepare for the upcoming track World Cup sans all of their luggage - again. Last year on a trip to Moscow, the squad lost all 56 pieces of their luggage according to the New Zealand Herald.

The delayed and missing equipment will not prevent the trackies from competing, but it has distracted riders and support staff. Fortunately, after last year's experience, the team arrived farther in advance of the World Cup in order to have more time to address any travel-related problems.
