Cycling New Zealand have named a 17-strong squad for the UCI Track Cycling World Championships at Glasgow in August.
The historic event comes as part of an ambitious plan set out by UCI to stage 13 sports under its jurisdiction over 11 days.
It will also be a key qualifier for the 2024 Paris Olympics, with more than 200 rainbow jerseys up for grabs over 13 world championships from seven disciplines.
Cycling NZ have opted for consistency for the event, with several gold medallists from last year's Commonwealth Games included in the squad.
Only winners and now retired Jordan Kerby and Corbin Strong haven't been included, with their focus shifting to the WorldTour this year.
"Overall it is a powerful and reasonably experienced squad," Cycling NZ high performance director, Ryan Hollows said.
"They are a tight-knit group who have enjoyed success together at the Commonwealth Games and Nations Cup, and have their sights fixed firmly on these championships as a key building block to the Paris Olympics.
"This year we are aware that most of our endurance riders are coming straight out of professional road racing commitments in Europe but they have a 10-day track training block to fine-tune.
"They know each other well, and we are confident that they will knit together quickly when they come into the pre-event camp in Switzerland next month.
"There is a strong group of experienced riders and some exciting younger talent. It is going to be a massive couple of weeks in Scotland, and important for riders to focus on the job in hand despite the number of other world championships events in and around the city."
