Great Britain's Olympic medal hopefuls will test themselves against the world's best at the UCI Track Cycling World Championships in Berlin.

Jason and Laura Kenny, who hold 10 Olympic golds between them, are the star names seeking to show their form in the build-up to this summer's Olympics.

This week's World Championships "could be tricky" for Britain's team pursuit squad says Ed Clancy, but the Olympic champion maintains the focus is on the "bigger picture" of Tokyo 2020.

GB, including Clancy, have won the last three Olympic titles in the event.

But Australia have established themselves as the dominant force since Rio 2016 and are favourites to win gold at this week's Worlds in Berlin.

"The competition is red hot," Clancy, 34, told BBC Sport.

"In an ideal world, we'd be sat on top of the pile but the reality is, right now, I think we're behind those guys and it could potentially be a tricky World Championships for us.

"But that won't change anything as we head towards Tokyo. We know we'll do a better performance there, as we have done in the past."
