European bronze medallists Emily Kay, Kelly Murphy, Alice Sharpe and Mia Griffin have been selected for the Irish team at the UCI Track Cycling World Championship in Roubaix, France from 20 to 24 October.
Fresh from their medal-winning performance in Switzerland at the European Track Championships, the women's team pursuit squad will look to repeat their recent success on the world stage, with qualifications taking place on the opening day of the competition.
Olympian Emily Kay will be joined by Alice Sharpe to compete in the madison. The pair will hope to build on their performance from the Euros where they placed 13th. Qualifications for madison will take place on Saturday 23 with the final taking place that evening.
Kelly Murphy and Mia Griffin will compete in the individual pursuit. Both riders performed well in the event at the Europeans, placing sixth and eighth respectively and medalled in the same event at the Track Nations Cup in St Petersburg in July this year. The qualifying round will also be held on Saturday 23.
