The first time since Colombia’s 2014 edition that the event has taken place in South America.
The world’s top track cyclists will compete for 22 titles across a variety of disciplines following the success of the 121st edition last year in Ballerup, Denmark.
Who is a rival?
Olympic gold medalist Emma Finucane hopes to achieve even more sprint success while Olympic gold medalist Katie Archibald will once again lead the country’s elite women in the madison and elimination races.
In the meantime, after missing out on a bronze medal in the sprint team in 2024, Great Britain’s men will be hoping to outmatch the Netherlands this time out.
Matthew Bostock, a Manx rider, and Josh Charlton and Michael Gill as competitors for individual pursuit gold will be included in their ranks. The sprint will feature Harry Ledingham-Horn and Matthew Richardson.
Conor Leahy, an Olympic gold medalist, will play for Australia for the first time since his Paris success, making one change to the team that won the UCI Track Nations Cup Team pursuit in Konya.
The British squad
Men’s endurance: Will Tidball, Mark Stewart, Josh Tarling, Charlie Tanfield, and Matthew Bostock, Josh Charlton, Michael Gill, and Michael Gill
Women’s endurance: Meg Barker, Josie Knight, Maddie Leech, Anna Morris, and Jessica Roberts
Men’s sprint team: Hamish Turnbull, Matt Richardson, Joe Truman, and Harry Ledingham-Horn.
