Venue: Lee Valley VeloPark, London

Coverage: Live BBC coverage on TV, radio and online.

Katie Archibald has been selected to be part of Great Britain's team for the UCI track cycling World Championships in London.

The Scottish cyclist looked doubtful for the event after a crash in training back in January left her with a ruptured knee ligament.

Archibald, 21, has recovered sufficiently, however, to be included in the women's endurance team.

Fellow Scot Callum Skinner will be part of the men's sprint quartet.
