One to watch is Emma Finucane. The Welshwoman is the current individual sprint world champion and could be in line for a hat-trick of medals across the three sprint events – individual sprint, team sprint and keirin.
In the team sprint, she will line up alongside Katy Marchant and Sophie Capewell. Earlier this year, the trio won Track Nations Cup gold – the first gold medal won by a British women’s team sprint squad since late 2012.
In the team pursuit, GB’s women are the reigning world champions while the men are the current European champions.
This is Team GB’s first Olympics without either of the Kennys since 2004.
GB will also be without two-time Olympic gold medallist Katie Archibald, after she broke two bones in her leg and tore ligaments off the bone after tripping over a step in her garden in June.
