    Laura Kenny in action in Berlin

    After finishing fourth in the scratch race, Laura Kenny is set to ride in the first round of the women's team pursuit on Thursday, just a month after breaking her shoulder.

    Kenny had originally said she would sit out the team pursuit in Berlin, because she was concerned about standing starts.

    British Cycling have now announced Kenny will replace Neah Evans in the GB four for the next round of the team pursuit.

    Evans, with Katie Archibald, Elinor Barker and Ellie Dickinson, set the second fastest time behind the United States in Wednesday’s qualifying.

    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."
