Archibald and Burke included in GB squad for Glasgow World Cup meet

British Cycling named Rio team pursuit champion Archibald along with double team pursuit gold medallist and 2012 world champion Burke to feature at the opening round of the 2016/17 World Cup series from November 4-6.

Four of British Cycling's women's senior academy endurance squad - Megan Barker, Abbie Dentus, Ellie Dickinson, and Rebecca Raybould - have been given the opportunity to impress with selection to line-up at the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome, as they represent Team Breeze which is supported by British Cycling's Breeze initiative.

Head coach Iain Dyer said: "With the European Track Championships due to take place in Paris next weekend, we move on from there to round one of the World Cup series with a fairly similar line-up.

"It's predominantly a development team, with the exception of Katie, Steve and Andy Tennant, which is to be expected at this stage of the Olympic cycle. These young riders have been presented with a great opportunity to step up and compete at World Cup level and, thanks to Team Breeze, we are able to enter an extra four female senior academy riders into this event."

Men's Endurance; Steven Burke, Kian Emadi, Mark Stewart, Andy Tennant, Oliver Wood

Women's Endurance; Katie Archibald, Emily Kay, Danni Khan, Manon Lloyd, Emily Nelson

Women's Endurance - Team Breeze; Megan Barker, Abbie Dentus, Ellie Dickinson, Rebecca Raybould
