Katie Archibald and Elinor Barker are in a British squad containing five Olympic gold medallists for the European Track Championships in Berlin.

Rio 2016 team sprint champions Philip Hindes and Callum Skinner, and team pursuit winner Steven Burke are racing.

Archibald, who won gold with Barker in the team pursuit, said: "I'm pleased with my results from the past year.

"I won three medals at the Euros in Paris last year, and have enjoyed some good results at races around Europe."

Archibald, the reigning European champion in the Omnium and individual pursuit, is joined in the endurance squad by Eleanor Dickinson, Emily Kay and Manon Lloyd, all of who won gold medals at the UCI Track World Cup in Glasgow last year.
