Ashlee Ankudinoff and Kaarle McCulloch will represent Australia at the UCI Track World Championships in London next month.
Cycling Australia named a twenty-member team for the event which will act as the final dress rehearsal before the Rio Olympics in August.
“The world championships are our last qualification event for Rio as well as the final big race opportunity to fine tune our team toward the Rio Olympics,” said Kevin Tabotta, National Performance Director of Cycling Australia.
The team has an impressive blend of youth and experience that includes 12 current or former world champions.
That list includes reigning Keirin and 11-time world champion Anna Meares, Stephanie Morton who claimed four medals at three World Cups this summer and three-time team sprint world champion McCulloch.
The 28-year-old from the St George Cycling Club is joined in the squad by Menai’s Ankudinoff.
Ankudinoff, who was part of the team that won the 2015 team pursuit world title in world record time, will line up to defend her title after her win in the individual time trial at the Australian titles.
