One week to go till the 2009 Track Cycling World Championships in Pruszków, Poland. Will the British team be able to replicate their Olympic success without Chris Hoy? Will anyone be able to stop Victoria Pendleton? Will France be able to defend their Team Sprint title? TrackCyclingWorld has a preview here, and if you're lucky you might be able to watch some action here.[update 1] USA Cycling just announced the US squad going to the Worlds. It's made up of just four cyclists: Taylor Phinney will compete in the Individual Pursuit, Kilometer Time Trial, and Omnium; Daniel Holloway will compete in the Madison and Scratch Race; Colby Pearce will compete in the Madison and Points Race; and Shelly Olds, the only woman in the US team, will compete in the Points and Scratch races. Four cyclists is a pretty small squad. In comparison, the Brits are bringing nineteen.

Sometimes I think Victoria Pendleton is representing the wrong country. You know, instead of Babylonia. MORE LIKE BABEALONIA AM I RIGHT SIMON
seriously I would take her on a date and possibly give her a chaste hug afterwards
You are a strange and possibly deranged man.
Full preview (I'm told there is more to track cycling than sprinting, although I'm skeptical) is up now at http://www.trackcyclingworld.com/newsdetail.aspx?id=54
