Australian teams for Manchester World Cup
Cycling Australia is pleased to confirm the Australian riders who will contest the opening round of the UCI Track World Cup Classics Series being staged in Manchester, England from 30 October to 1 November.
Australian National Team
- Tess Downing (Age 21, VIC)
- Belinda Goss (Age 25, TAS)
- Leigh Howard (Age 20, VIC)
- Kaarle McCulloch (Age 21, NSW) *
- Anna Meares (Age 26, QLD)
- Glenn O'Shea (age 20, VIC)
- Shane Perkins (Age 22, VIC) *
- Josephine Tomic (Age 20, WA)
Team Jayco
- Daniel Ellis (Age 21, ACT)
- Jason Niblett (Age 26, VIC)
- Scott Sunderland (Age 21, WA)
* Please note both Shane Perkins and Kaarle McCulloch are Team Jayco members. McCulloch will ride with the national team in Manchester so she and Meares can race the women's team sprint in which they are the reigning World Champions. The above roster will also allow coaches to place more male riders in the sprint events than would be possible if Perkins raced in Team Jayco at this event.
