Katie Archibald will once again lead Great Britain’s elite women in the madison and elimination races, while Olympic gold medallist Emma Finucane will be on the hunt for further sprint success.
Finucane is the defending champion in the women’s sprint, beating Dutch rider Hetty van de Wouw to gold last year.
Great Britain are also defending champions in the women’s team sprint, which features Sophie Capewell and Katy Marchant alongside Finucane. The trio, who were crowned Olympic champions in Paris, dominated the event at last year’s Championships.
Meanwhile, Great Britain’s men will be looking to get the better of the Netherlands this time out after missing out on sprint team bronze in 2024.
Matthew Richardson will line up in Great Britain colours for the first time, having won three medals for Australia at the Paris Olympics before switching nationalities.
Michael Gill and Josh Charlton will also be aiming for the individual pursuit gold.
