The 2018 Rowing World Cup gets underway in Belgrade, Serbia with the first of three regattas over the next few months.

A total of 54 athletes have been selected for the British team, which begins a new era following the decision of performance director Sir David Tanner to step down after 21 years at the helm.

On the women's side, Vicky Thornley leads the way after her silver medal in the single scull at the World Championships last year.

For the men, Olympic gold medallists Will Satch and Moe Sbihi compete in the eight while four medallists from the World Championships make up the men's quadruple scull, with Tom Barras - bronze medallist in the single - joining Jonny Walton, Graeme Thomas and John Collins in the crew.

The Rowing World Cup will continue next month in Linz, Austria (21-24 June), and culminates in Lucerne (13-15 July).
