Emma Finucane and Matthew Richardson will be the leading British names at the Track Cycling World Championships, which begin next Wednesday in Shanghai. For Richardson, the event will above all mark his return to racing after a heavy crash that forced him to miss the Glasgow Commonwealth Games. As in the women’s events, competition will be particularly fierce in the sprint disciplines. The British selection also places significant emphasis on the next generation, with several riders set to make their elite World Championships debuts.
