    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."

    Just hop on a bike and you're good to go.

    Road cycling, the most common form of cycling, is simply riding a bike outside for exercise, sport or to get from A to B. Track cycling adds a competitive element and sees riders race around a specialist track at high speeds.

    British Cycling,Scottish Cycling,Welsh Cycling and Cycle NI have information about clubs and racing tracks in your local area.

    The Breeze programme, for women cyclists, offers a range of safe and sociable cycle routes for all abilities. If you don't have access to a bike there are hundreds of bike rental facilities across the UK.
